Mother (Live) - Florence And The Machine
Oh lord won't you leave me
Leave me on my knees
Cause I belong to the ground now
And it belongs to me
And oh lord won't you leave me
Leave me just like this
Cause I belong to the ground now
I want no more than this
How I long for the autumn
The sun keeps burning deep
Every stone in this city keeps reminding me
Can you protect me from what I want
The love that I let in left me so lost
Mother make me
Make me a big tall tree
So I can she'd my leaves and let it blow through me
Mother make me
Make me a big grey cloud
So I can rain on you things I can't say out loud
All these couples are kissing
And I can't stand the heat
I lost my shoes and left the party
I wander in the street
I put my feet into the fountain
The statues all asleep
No use wishing on the water
It grants you no relief
Mother make me
Make me a bird of prey
So I can rise above this let it fall away
Mother make me
Make me a song so sweet
Heaven trembles fallen at our feet
Oh lord won't you leave me
Leave me on my knees
Cause I belong to the ground now
And it belongs to me
And oh lord won't you leave me
Leave me just like this
Cause I belong to the ground now
I want no more than this
Oh lord won't you leave me
Leave me on my knees
Cause I belong to the ground now
And it belongs to me
And oh lord won't you leave me
Leave me just like this
Cause I belong to the ground now
I want no more than this
