A lonely mother sits and stares into the distance
Keeps an ever watchful eye over the den
Winter drags its nail across their hunger
A hungry child cries out into the night

City lights dying out with the dawn
Set the table for the kids, one by one
How're we gonna make ends meet, no money for the rent
Taking care of babies three, it's all spent

A lonely mother sits and stares into the distance
Keeps an ever watchful eye over the den
How're we gonna make ends meet no money for the rent
Taking care of babies three, it's all spent

Talk is cheap but so is water
And that ain't enough to get by
Bury your head on my shoulder
Mother please don't cry
