Lyrics

Between the blinds

Every other line

Is darkness, keeping tabs on me

Sunday’s holy sun

Is on your breast

Calling out towards heaven

And I’m calling out too

Mama take your time

I’m not caught up yet

Mama take your time

I don’t know if ever I’ll be

Always heading home

But I’m never there

I don’t know why it’s so hard

Getting back to you

Another day in your nightgown

Another branch hanging low

I know your hands are tied

So it goes

Mama take your time

I’m not caught up yet

Mama take your time

I don’t know if ever I’ll be

Save a place for me mama

In your long line of regrets

I’ve come to be like you

And I know that you hate that

So I’m headed home

And I hope you’re there

I never meant to be this

I never meant to be this

Mama take your time

I’m not caught up yet

Mama take your time

I don’t know if ever I’ll be
