Mother I can hear your foot-fall now Soft disturbance in the dead-fall how It proceeds you like a black smoke pall
Still the wanting comes in waves And you delivered me from danger then Pulled my cradle from the reedy glen Swore to save me from the world of men Still the wanting comes in waves In waves And waves And the wanting comes in waves And the wanting comes in waves And I want this night And I want this night Oh How I made you I wrought you, I pulled you From war I labored you From cancer I cradled you And now This is how I am repaid This is how I am repaid Remember when I found you The miseries that hounded you And I gave you motion Anointed with lotions And now This is how I am repaid This is how I am repaid Mother hear this proposition right Grant me freedom to enjoy this night And I′ll return to you at break of light For the wanting comes in waves And waves And waves Still the wanting comes in waves Still the wanting comes in waves Still the wanting comes in waves And you owe me life And you owe me life And if I grant you this favor to hand you Your life for the evening I will retake by morning And so Consider it your debt repaid Consider it your debt repaid Repaid Repaid

[Colin:]
Mother I can hear your foot-fall now
Soft disturbance in the dead-fall how
It proceeds you like a black smoke pall
Still the wanting comes in waves
And you delivered me from danger then
Pulled my cradle from the reedy glen
Swore to save me from the world of men
Still the wanting comes in waves
In waves
And waves
And the wanting comes in waves
And the wanting comes in waves
And I want this night
And I want this night
Oh
[Shara:]
How I made you
I wrought you, I pulled you
From war I
labored you
From cancer I cradled you
And now
This is how I am repaid
This is how I am repaid
Remember when I found you
The miseries that hounded you
And I gave you motion
Anointed with lotions
And now
This is how I am repaid
This is how I am repaid
[Colin:]
Mother hear this proposition right
Grant me freedom to enjoy this night
And I'll return to you at break of light
For the wanting comes in waves
And waves
And waves
Still the wanting comes in waves
Still the wanting comes in waves
Still the wanting comes in waves
And you owe me life
And you owe me life
[Shara:]
And if I grant you this favor to hand you
Your life for the evening
I will retake by morning
And so
Consider it your debt repaid
Consider it your debt repaid
Repaid
Repaid
