Sweetness
On the rips of your old dress
Twilight
On the banks of the warm fire

Whispers in the dark they hit the trees
Run into your heart to find mama's sleeves
Daddy ain't awake and daylight's gone
Afraid of the dark, you think of mama's bones

Cause I can't live like this
I heard your mama cry
Behind the door I'm listening
She said she's gonna fly
With words your mouth she's kissing

She said oh, child
Your back is straight
Don't let hurt curve ya that way
And I said
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah…

Sweetness
On the ribs of your bare chest
Twilight
On the roof of that snowy night
You ran outside without your boots on
You could be lost, you'd find yourself at home
Well, mama's house is up on the sunrise
Sweet good god, just take me by surprise

Cause I can't live like this
Cause I heard your mama cry
Behind the door I'm listening
She said she's gonna fly
With words your mouth she's kissing

And she said oh, child
Your back is straight
Don't let her curve ya that way

But I said "mama, please take me home"
Said, "I can't stand bein' alone
Cause the pain is shooting down my spine again"
I said, "Daddy's feeling sick
Oh, I think he's gonna quit"

Sweetness
On the mouth of your caress
Twilight
Past the stars of that open night
