Oh Mother Earth
I’m going down
The full moon shines upon
A sea of stars
A flood of light
And I am sinking
Oh Mother Earth
I was thinking
That when I die
And all my tomorrows
Like tears
Fall into the sky
And flicker
And pass me by
And when I leave my friends
The ones I love
Will I never know them again
Or understand
Their tenderness
Their loveliness
Or feel them warm
Against my
Skin
Am I to lie there endlessly
Alone in death
Eternity
Waiting
Without them
Oh I could cry
A million tears
Mother Earth
These are my fears
That I should pass
A million years
Or a single day
Without
Them
Oh Mother Earth
I’m going down
I feel the coldness
Of the ground
The bitter frost
Of deepest space
I cannot bear
To face it
And when I feel this way
Wrap your arms around me
Press you body
Into mine
As if your soul
Could enter
Me
And when I feel this way
Do not say a word
Or dry my tears
Just hold me
And let the years
Pass
Oh Mother Earth
We’re going down
The full moon sets
And sinks
Beneath the dark waters
Of the flood
And all is
Silent
I finally found Steve Wolf’s original song that I attempted to recreate below. Listen to the acoustic version by the original author. Chilling…
