I tell myself the mountain shines
The clocks they turn back the dead

You're outside, I'm inside all alone
The faces obscured by though in doubt

Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Smoke rings, sits on the porch
They won't let me out
Mother, don't cry, don't cry

Woke in the night, sleeps in the daytime
The months go by seven at nine

You're outside, I'm inside all alone
The faces obscured by though in doubt

Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
Smoke rings, sits on the porch
They won't let me out
Mother, don't cry, don't cry
