She tells you how her canyon walks can ease a mother's fear
The trails and big groves comfort her,
She feels close to god out there
But that's just how she makes it through, she's given up a lot inside
And even in those spreading trees
She'll still break down and cry
She's praying again her daughter will land with both feet on the ground
Nobody knows which, way she'll go, or if she'll ever come around
Maybe this time she'll finally find the pieces that have come apart
And there'll be no more breaking, no more breaking either heart
She carries around a photograph of her beautiful, coltish girl
In a big white shirt, her head tossed back,
A free spirit in this world
You want to forget all that she's done, and all she's compromised
You can close your eyes and believe that now,
She's the same girl in disguise
She's praying again her daughter will land with both feet on the ground
Nobody knows which, way she'll go, or if she'll ever come around
Maybe this time she'll finally find the pieces that have come apart
And there'll be no more breaking, no more breaking either heart
Her mothers heart, wide as the sea,
Would rock her back on a rising tide
She cradles the memory, then lets it go,
She has to leave the girl behind
She's praying again her daughter will land with both feet on the ground
Nobody knows which, way she'll go, or if she'll ever come around
Maybe this time she'll finally find the pieces that have come apart
And there'll be no more breaking, there'll be no more breaking,
There'll be no more breaking, no more breaking either heart
