Jon Foli - Late Night (Her Last Note) Lyrics

Mother Mother would you take my hand
Mother Mother would you take my hand
Tell me Father would understand
If I told you that I am sorry
Mother Mother would you take my hand
Mother Mother would you take my hand
Tell me Father would understand
If I told you that
I'll break my back, I'll crack the whip just to see you smile
Just 18 but I gladly bare this burden just to make you proud
"I'm proud of you" I waited patiently for you to speak these words to me
I wonder if I'll ever hear them since I now swim in eternity
I'm thinking
Mother Mother would you take my hand
Mother Mother would you take my hand
Tell me Father would understand
If I told you that I am sorry
Mother Mother would you take my hand
Mother Mother would you take my hand
Tell me Father would understand
If I told you that
All these years I spent
Every decision I made every single step
I took it was all for you I was an open book
But you still couldn't read, I was just a child in need
We won power and I'm glad
But now you spend more time at the house than you do at home
I'm in another zone, you're back and I'm gone
Now something even stronger is preventing us from getting close
I had to do it, that's what voices kept telling me
They said it was the only way to stop the pain
For I brought shame upon the family name
And these friends, would make sure nothing will ever be the same
So this girl that you raised had to raze what
God gave in attempt to save what remained of her pride
I hope you understand, I did this for you, for us
I'm confident of your love and this is proof of mine
Mother Mother would you take my hand
Mother Mother would you take my hand
Tell me Father would understand
If I told you that I am sorry
Mother Mother would you take my hand
Mother Mother would you take my hand
Tell me Father would understand
If I told you that
