Joan Baez

Don't Blame My Mother
(Joan Baez) Look for me in crisis centers Padded cells Oh, wish me well Oh, shame, don't blame my mother As I am moving out I see She wanted all the best for me Those were the days when phrases never spoken Led to broken lives I think of all the things that she once had Her magic moments with my dad Before I came, before he left her And now alone my mother tries Stands by my bed at night and cries While I am sleeping in my blue lagoon Her child of the moon And neither can you blame my dad He gave me everything he had I wish that all the light years between his ears And my lips were gone His business kept him on the run The weekends spared no time for fun On holidays we drove him crazy SongtexteAnd so he took the easy route Called up one year and wanted out And ever since, around my birthday time I get a line from Dad Look for me in crisis centers Padded cells Oh, wish me well Oh, shame, don't blame my father Aus Songtexte Mania
