Friedman Dean Dean Friedman Song For My Mother In the hollow of your arms Snuggled up safe and warm You used to tell me tales of unicorns and kings But how could I comprehend All the things you told me then Of your maddness and your struggling My mind would swim in fantasies Like a piece of driftwood on the sea I had no touchstone for reality You were my reality Like a dark and unlit room Or the far side of the moon Your insanity spoke emptiness and fear No matter how I tried How I questioned and I pried I just could not penetrate that thin veneer And I know you tried to comfort me To soothe and reassure me But then your strength would always fail And in it's place a silken veil Like a dried and wrinkled prune A deflated toy balloon I came home and found you strewn across the floor And as they lay you on your bed I heard you say "If I am dead, How come it just keeps on hurtin' more and more" And you left me in the early spring All they said was "Mommy's resting" And how was I to know so young It wasn't something I had done So please try and understand I will love you as I can I do not blame you, you're not guilty But still theres no way to describe The relief I finally found Upon learning it was you And not me That was crazy |
