Lyrics No Mother - Old 97's

In the valley of the shadows, I? m waiting
For mother and the other ones I love
So know I? ll always love you
Until we meet above

In the battle of the bottle I? m an innocent
And the breaking of glass I? m lost
In the shadow of a downtown overpass
My last I did exhaust

No, no, no mother
Should ever have to lose a son
No, no, no never
Especially not such a handsome one

In the middle of the meadow, I? m waiting
For mother and the other ones I love
There? s no good why this came to pass
There? s only just because

No, no, no mother
Should ever have to lose a son
No, no, no never
Especially not such a handsome one

In the valley of the shadows, I? m waiting
For mother and the other ones I love
So know, I? ll always love you
Until we meet above

No, no, no mother
Should ever have to lose a son
No, no, no never
Especially not such a handsome one

No, no, no, no mother
Should ever have to lose a son
No, no, no, no never
Especially not such a handsome one
