Oh mother I'm fine, I seldom get down
At least not for a day
Oh mother I'm fine, not for some time
Have I been in pain

Oh mother the time, wont wait for us now
We can't wait in vain
Oh mother don't cry, we'll try to get by
We'll try to be brave

Got a feeling coming round
Holding me down
I've got a hold of you
So open
Open

Oh mother you called, your voice hangs above
The fog in my brain
Oh mother the time, mother the time
Might tick for me now

Oh mother the pain, is part of the joy
And that is the deal
Oh mother I'm fine, I'm blinking in time
To block out the fear

Got a feeling coming round
Holding me down
I've got a hold of you
So open
Open
I'm feeling so alive
