lyrics

Little lonely girl
With your rucksack
and your torn map
and your heartbeat
and your light

Little lonely woman
With your handbag
and your Kleenex
and your mothers expectations
of how you should raise your children

The silent bloodlines
Carry through the daughters
Of the daughters of crooked hearts
And they’re our mother’s
mother’s
mother’s
mother’s
mother’s…

She’s got a body fit to carry
And a heart that’s overflowing
But she doesn’t care to hear again
That her hips are made for holding a child

She had two in the nest
But they’ve flown now,
and they’re hard to get a hold of
and she feels as though she’s failed them somehow

The silent bloodlines
Carry through the daughters
Of the daughters of crooked hearts
And they’re our mother’s
mother’s
mother’s
mother’s
mother’s…

She told me don’t get caught without a ring
Don’t hide yourself away
Be careful what you wear
‘Cause you know what men may say
Don’t be precious
Don’t be too kind
Things aren’t what they seem
Keep your children close to you
Don’t end up like me

The silent bloodlines
Carry through the daughters
Of the daughters of crooked hearts
And they’re our mother’s
mother’s
mother’s
mother’s
mother’s…

She kept all the pictures
But gave frames to charity
For some pretty young family
To fill with someone living, mmmm

She mended the map
And found a cohesive diagram
Of the complicated backroads
To her own heart
Her own heart

Little lonely women
With your backpack
and your Kleenex
and your heartbeat
and your light

Little lonely mother
With the echo
in your big house
Tell yourself now:

It’s your life
