Detours

[Verse 1] Mother, can you hold me together? It's so dark and I'm losin' my way I took all of these detours to find love But when I did, it just faded away [Chorus] Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine? Do I give it away and hope someday I'll find Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars? Mother, teach me to love with a paper-thin heart [Verse 2] Mother, your words are so healing You speak of love and of light and of peace But I've made it my course to avoid you Just to hide from these feelings of grief [Chorus] Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine? Do I give it away and hope someday I'll find Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars? Mother, teach me to love with a paper-thin heart Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine? Do I give it away and hope someday I'll find Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars? Mother, teach me to love with a paper-thin heart [Outro] Mother, I know you are with me You were there when I took my first breath I can't stop looking back for the answers I just keep coming up with regret There are some things I just can't forget
