Adrianne Lenker
Mother
[Verse 1]
She wears flowers around her neck
She cooks that egg so perfect
To eat it warm
To eat it warm, warm

[Chorus]
And you sleep under her arm
Where the sparrow's flying
To the high white noise
Of the highway dying

[Verse 2]
She looks that bird in the eye
Cuts his throat and bleeds him dry
To eat him warm
To eat him warm, warm

[Chorus]
And you sleep under her arm
Where the sparrow's flying
To the high white noise
Of the highway dying

[Verse 3]
She has milk inside her breast
You dive down to find the flesh
And eat it warm
And eat it warm, warm
[Chorus]
And you sleep under her arm
Where the sparrow's flying
To the high white noise
Of the highway dying
