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 y
