Mother dear

Written by john curulewski
Lead vocals by john curulewski

Lonely feelings in the city
One room flat with crumbling walls
Sirens play a distant melody
Neon shadows paint the halls

In the thirteen months Ive spent here
With my manuscript and rhymes
Ive paid in cash for foolish pleasures
Mother dear youd call them crimes

Raise the roof
Light the lite
Mother dear Im returning tonight
Now I see
Your concern
Mother dear how you taught me to learn

I been a roman for survival
Showing two sides of my face
I need the comfort of your wisdom
Im coming home to your embrace

If by chance I pass before you
Dont discount my gratitude
Youre responsible for me here
And of course my attitude

Raise the roof
Light the lite
Mother dear Im returning tonight
Now I see
Your concern
Mother dear how you taught me to learn

Stayin up half the night
Wonderin if what Im doin is right
Raise the roof
Light the lite
Mother dear Im returning tonight
