Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Holy Mother, where are you?
Tonight I feel broken in two
I've seen the stars fall from the sky
Holy Mother, can't keep from crying
[Verse 2]
Oh, I need your help this time
Get me through this lonely night
Tell me, please, which way to turn
To find myself again
[Verse 3]
Holy Mother, hear my prayer
Somehow I know you're still there
Send me, please, some peace of mind
Take away this pain
[Verse 4]
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait any longer
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait for you
[Verse 5]
Holy Mother, hear my cry
I've cursed your name a thousand times
I've felt the anger running through my soul
All I need is a hand to hold
[Verse 6]
Oh, I feel the end has come
No longer my legs will run
You know I would rather be
In your arms tonight
[Verse 7]
When my hands no longer play
My voice is still, I fade away
Holy Mother, then I'll be
Lying in, safe within your arms
Written by: Clapton, Eric, Stephen Bishop
