Verse 1
D
Ewan wrote this song
Bm
for his mother.
D
She went out office cleaning.
G
She walks in the cold, dark hour
D
before the morning
G
The hour when wounded
D
G
night begins to bleed
D
Stands at the back of the patient queue
G
The silent, almost sleeping few
D
G
D
Seeing no one and not being seen
G
Working shoes are wrapped in
D
working apron
G
D
G
Rolled in an oilcloth bag across her knees
The swaying tram as
D
G
saults the morning steely
Blue -grey day is dawning
D
Bm
Draining the last few
G
D
dregs of sleep away
G
Over the bridge and the writhing
Bm
foul black water
D
G
Down through empty
D
G
corridors of stone
D
Each of the blind glass walls she passes
G
Shows her twin in sudden flashes
D
G
Which is the mirror im age,
G
Crouching hooded gods
D
of word and number
G
D
Accept her bent -backed as her due
G
D
The bucket steamed like incense coils
G
Across the endless floor she toils
D
Bm
G
Cleaning the same wide sweep
G
Glistening sheen of new
D
washed floor is fading.
G
D
G
There where of his clocks are marking time,
D
Night's black tide has ebbed away
G
Past cliffs of glass awash with day.
D
G
She hurries from her labors, still unseen
D
G
He who lies beside her does
not see her
D
G
Notice the child that once lay at her breast
D
G
The shroud of self -denial covers
eager girl and tender lover,
D
G
D
only the fated servant now is left,
G
how could it be
Bm
that no one saw her drowning,
G
D
G
how did we come to be so unaware,
D
at what point did she cease to be her,
G
when did we cease to see her,
D
G
how is it no one knew
D
That she was there
