lyrics
Water ran high
And the birds were gone
Set out by nightfall
Far afield by dawn
By dawn
Followed the sun
Through the dark and wild
No one was looking
For a long-lost child
Mama, I thought the road would be smooth
Mama, I thought the city would be kind
Money like water
And you drown, drown, drown
They say they’re lonely
Heavy wears the crown
Mama, I thought the road would be smooth
Mama, I thought the city would be kind
Would be kind
Would be kind to me
Mama, I thought the road would be smooth
Mama, I thought the city would be kind
Would be kind
Would be kind to me
Would be kind
Would be kind to me
Followed the sun
Through the dark and wild
No one was looking
For a long-lost child
