Mothertongue

Heather Nova

I got my daddy's eyes


But you gave me your double vision,


I got my daddy's stride


Now I'm walking blind with double vision.





And I can almost see your face now, in me.


And I can almost feel the weight you carried.





You had to break the skin


To put the blood between us,


You did the dirty work


To put the blood between us.





And I can almost see your face now, in me.


And I can almost feel the weight you carried.





Oooh rocking the seed in me


learning to speak the mothertongue.





Sometimes between the lines


I crashed, I could've killed you


I tried to go too fast -


I crashed, I could've killed you.





And I can almost see your face now, in me


And I can almost feel the weight you carried.





Oooh rocking the seed in me


learning to speak the mothertongue.
