One day my mama came to me

Said son let's talk a while

I know you're grown and you're not alone

But you'll always be my child

I didn't come to hurt you

Didn't come to make you cry

I'll find you shelter from the rain

Hold on I'll keep you dry



Your love is like the rock that lies

Beneath the fickle waters

And the waters are the words that flow

So freely through the run

At times the waters lie in peace

And mellow with the shadows

At times they come in crashing

Breach of trust for everyone



They sweep across those petrified

And sacrafice the song

They strip the whispers from the winds

Until the music's gone

So now it's time to reach inside

Lay to rest your pride

Show her how you really feel

Keep your love alive



I didn't mean to hurt you

Didn't mean those words I said

I was only trying to----

Make you understand that

I was feeling all the same pain

That you were feeling too

In spite of me I'll always be

----In love with you
