Lyrics
0:57She takes the back road and the lane
1:01Past the school that has not changed
1:05In all this time
1:11She thinks of when the boy was young
1:15All the battles she had won
1:20Just to give him life
1:25That man
1:27She loved that man
1:33For all his life
1:39But now we meet to take him flowers
1:44And only god knows why
1:53For what's the use in pressing palms
1:56When children fade in mother's arms
2:01It's a cruel world
2:03We've so much to lose
2:08And what we have to learn
2:14We rarely choose
2:21So if it's god who took her son
2:26He cannot be the one living in her mind
2:36Take care my love she said
2:42Don't think that god is dead
2:50Take care my love she said
2:57You have been loved
3:19If I was weak forgive me
3:25But I was terrified
3:31You brushed my eyes with angels wings full of love
3:40The kind that makes devils cry
3:44So these days
3:48My life has changed
3:53And I'll be fine
4:00But she just sits and counts the hours
4:04Searching for her crime
4:14So what's the use in pressing palms
4:17If you won't keep such love from harm
4:21It's a cruel world
4:23You've so much to prove
4:29And heaven help the ones who wait for you
4:42Well I've no daughters I've no sons
4:46Guess I'm the only one
4:50Living in my life
4:56Take care my love he said
5:03Don't think that god is dead
5:10Take care my love he said
5:17You have been loved
She takes the back road and the lane Past the school that has not changed In all this time She thinks of when the boy was young All the battles she had won Just to give him life That man She loved that man For all his life But now we meet to take him flowers And only god knows why For what's the use in pressing palms When children fade in mother's arms It's a cruel world We've so much to lose And what we have to learn We rarely choose So if it's god who took her son He cannot be the one living in her mind Take care my love she said Don't think that god is dead Take care my love she said You have been loved If I was weak forgive me But I was terrified You brushed my eyes with angels wings full of love The kind that makes devils cry So these days My life has changed And I'll be fine But she just sits and counts the hours Searching for her crime So what's the use in pressing palms If you won't keep such love from harm It's a cruel world You've so much to prove And heaven help the ones who wait for you Well I've no daughters I've no sons Guess I'm the only one Living in my life Take care my love he said Don't think that god is dead Take care my love he said You have been loved
