How did I fall so far from the family tree?
And why did you follow when you saw what happened to me?
ALover, your Emother
AWill worry half to death at Eday break
You give yourself to love like a wild animal, delivered from the plains
Celebrate the mountain air, shivering and unprepared and desperate for decay
Now that you're here love, don't you feel somehow undone?
you can't feed your body on misunderstandings of love.
ALover, your Emother
Will worry half to death at day break
and lover, your brothers will hunt me like a dog when they wake
AFollow your mother, your father and brother back D/Ahome
AFollow your mother, your father and brother back D/Ahome
AFollow your mother, your father and brother D/Atonight
AFollow your mother, your father and brother back D/Ahome
Lover, your mother
Will worry half to death, when day breaks
And lover, your brothers will hunt me like a dog, when they wake
Follow your mother, your father and brother back home
Follow your mother, your father and brother back home
