Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the valley of the shadows, I'm waitin'
For Mother and the other ones I love
So know I'll always love you
Until we meet above
[Verse 2]
In the battle of the bottle, I'm an innocent
And the breaking of glass, I'm lost
In the shadow of a downtown overpass
My last I did exhaust
[Verse 3]
No, no, no mother
Should ever have to lose a son
No, no, no, never
Especially not such a handsome one
[Verse 4]
In middle of the meadow, I'm waitin'
For Mother and the other ones I love
There's no good why this came to pass
There's only just because
[Verse 5]
No, no, no mother
Should ever have to lose a son
No, no, no, never
Especially not such a handsome one
[Verse 6]
In the valley of the shadows, I'm waitin'
For Mother and the other ones I love
So know I'll always love you
Until we meet above
[Verse 7]
No, no, no mother
Should ever have to lose a son
No, no, no, never
Especially not such a handsome one
[Verse 8]
No, no, no, no mother
Should ever have to lose a son
No, no, no, no, never
Especially not such a handsome one
