She was a girl who never stopped watching
All the while you sat and played your songs for her
What'll you do now that she's gone, so far away?
Don't chase her out to let her in
Don't you know my mother sang?
It's alright to be alone
In a breath of her you were so free
From all the fear of night and day and losing way
Go wash yourself in lonesome seas
Before the summer's end
It's what you need, it's what you need
Don't you know my mother sang?
It's alright to be alone
So are you gonna say that you know the way?
Cause I will always know
That your heart was mine for a while
In a Bible you are looking for all that she gave to you
It's all within your heart, I'm sure
A memory of solid gold melting in the sun
It's a playful day for one so young
Don't you know my mother sang?
It's alright to be alone
So are you gonna stay, or go away?
You're holding all my heart
Because I gave it all to you
