I know my mother was just another lover to you
But when the fighting stopped I saw another side to you
I guess the quiet life
A wife and a son
Was just a little too much action
I've been told you were
A loving man once
But I'm gonna have to
Take their word for it
Another day bashing
The dust from my legs
But not another word
From you yet
I've finished school
Kissed a girl
Learned to cook
Drive as well
Four harvests
A thousand bowls of gruel
I've grown so tired of hating you
Just come back
I need to know
Are you still alive or are you a cherry ghost
I've been told you were
A loving man once
But I'm gonna have to
Take their word for it
Another day bashing
The dust from my legs
But not another word
From you yet
