Your mother's eyes are filled with grief
This barren land is all she sees
Life cannot grow where man has been
But inside you'll still be
In love, in love, in love
In love, in love, in love
You ran too far from home
You've been to the city lights
Where this town will crush you
If you let it, if you let it
I'm tired of working you down
You're breathing in too fast
Yeah I could take the time
'Til you're ready, 'til you're ready
You ain't ready, no you ain't ready
You try to run a ship that ain't steady
I would've shown you how
You better let me
Said you don't want me to go down with the ship
I'm tired of watching you drown
You're breathing in too deep
Your mother's eyes are filled with grief
This barren land is all she sees
Life cannot grow where man has been
But inside you, you'll still be
In love, in love, in love
In love, in love, in love
on the tiptoe
With a little yellow lasso
Wrapped around your neck
You try to run from the popo
But the shadow won't let go
No wonder a woman like you
Givin' time with a broken heart too
Can find peace in the sweetest taboo
Nothing left on this side, this side for you
Your mother's eyes are filled with grief
This barren plan is all she sees
Life cannot grow where man has been
But inside you, you'll still be
In love, in love, in love
