lyrics

Mother

Wake up oh sleeper, what have you done?
Mother behold your firstborn son
Rise arise, The Kingdom has come
But the battle is lost before day is done

Maybe I'm the chains that shackled you down
To Mary your mother and her blessed crown
So you hide it in your heart, you don't make a sound
It's cold not wearing shoes on holy ground

And if there's salvation in this
It comes after days in the ground
And if there's peace in life
It's not in the love that I've found
So I no longer believe
We're heaven-bound

He told you you were lovely, he said you were light
And he wed you in a church in dresses of white
Now you're praying evening's over, dear God it's alright
Lonely sweating blood in the garden at night

And why have you forsaken me Lord?
Set my children against their mother, set devils at my door?
There's incense on the alter there's tears on the floor
I asked you for less but you gave me more

And if there's salvation in this
It comes after days in the ground
And if there's peace in life
It's not in the love that I've found
So I no longer believe
We're heaven-bound
So I no longer believe
We're heaven bound

Dan Saulpaugh image

Dan Saulpaugh New York, New York

New York based singer-songwriter Dan Saulpaugh exists at the nexus of indie-folk and modern jazz, blending the emotional immediacy of Jeff Buckley's folk-as-art-music aesthetic with the harmonic richness of Wayne Shorter's '60s compositions. This acts as a jumping off point for his songs that explore the complexities of being in love and finding one's place spiritually in the world. ... more
