As My Mother Lay Lying

As My Mother Lay Lying

As my mother lay lying in the nursing home bed
I paid strict attention to the things she said
As my mother lay lying I learned

Old dreams that bothered me
Since I was little
I looked at her and in a flash I saw the riddle
As my mother lay lying I learned
As my mother lie dying I learned some more

Now she's sleeping in the sun
Breaking free of earthly chains one by one
As my mother lay lying I learned

Now just bones and silver hair
My restless twisting mother sleeping there
As my mother lay lying I learned
As my mother lie dying I learned some more

Now comes the time for one final cry
Now comes the time to say goodbye
As my mother lay lying I learned
As my mother lie dying I learned some more
