Mother's Mother (When I Was A Boy)

20 October 2026

When I was a boy

I travelled in a car

I was with my mother and we went far

We went to see her

We crossed the line

I covered my face for a long, long time

And when I opened up my eyes to see her

Open up her arms and whisper

How it made her feel, when we were near

'Cos she was in her own mind

She was on her own, all of the time

My mother's mother's only friend was my mother

My mother's mother's only friend was my mother

When she was young

She loved to sing

She married a man she regarded as king

But when he died

She was all alone

So she stole another man

The next in line to the throne

And when I opened up my eyes to see her

Open up her arms and whisper

How it made her feel, when we were near

'Cos she was in her own mind

She was on her own, all of the time

My mother's mother's only friend was my mother

My mother's mother's only friend was my mother

My mother's mother's only friend was my mother
