I never knew I had a father

Until I lost the sun

I didn't understand what he did

Or what he has done



He took it much too far

Took it all in stride

I'll never reach the top of the mountain

Until I find out why



Mother blues

Mother blues



Came from this place there's no mistake

Where livin's not much fun

He knew his chances for romancing

He knew it all along



He took it much too far

Took it all in stride

I'll never reach the top of the mountain

Till I find out why



Mother blues

Mother blues



I'm gonna meet you there

I'm gonna find you

I know I'll see you soon



He took it much too far

Took it all in stride

I'll never reach the top of the mountain

Till I find out why



Mother blues
