Lyrics
Mother, am I crazy or am I sane?
Would a normal man endure this pain?
I'm weary and growing old
Not the child you knew doing what he's told
Mother, I've given her my heart
What will she do with it?
It's my only hope and fantasy just to have a start
But will she go through with it?
Mother, she's perfect a dream come true
And she's kind and thoughtful just like you
She loves Whitman and loves Jane Eyre
And she knows your son's no poet but she doesn't care
Mother, I've given her my heart now tell me
What will she do with it?
It's my only hope and fantasy just to have a start
But will she go through with it?
Will she break my heart?
Or find a way to start again with open-mindedness; cause we can work it out
Another day goes by, and another letter that I write
To you gets put away with all the memories of the things I've left behind
Mother I've given her my heart now tell me
What will she do with it?
It's my only hope and fantasy just to have a start
But will she go through with it
