Mama, Don't Close Your Eyes — Lyrics
Mm
Hold me now
Mm, don't turn me out
I came back through the winter, with my cold hands at your door
Boots full of water, couldn't run anymore
I had ash on my shoulders from the bridges that I burned
But I still kept your whisper in the paces that I turned
You said, "Child, when the night gets cruel
Don't you dare forget you're more than all you've used"
So I carried that sentence like a coal in the dark
Hid it under all the shame that wrapped around my heart
Oh, if I fall again
Will you lift my head?
If I go numb
Will you call me back from the dead?
Mama, don't close your eyes, I'm still here, I'm still alive
I came through the snow with a shattered soul
But I'm holding on to every word you told
Mama, don't turn away, I found my knees, I learned to pray
With these cold, cold hands and this broken core
I'm just asking, can I come back home once more?
You remember the kitchen, with the candle on the plate
You'd sing over dishes when it all felt late
Let the storm keep shouting, let the fear run wild
We were made for the fire, we were made, my child
I took that little chorus to the cities and the bars
To the empty alleys and the backseat cars
But your hymn kept knocking when the windows froze
I said, "Stand up, girl, you're not what they chose"
Oh, if I break again
Will you hold my name?
If I lose my way
Will you light that flame?
Mama, don't close your eyes, I'm still here, I'm still alive
I came through the snow with a shattered soul
But I'm holding on to every word you told
Mama, don't turn away, I found my knees, I learned to pray
With these cold, cold hands and this broken core
I'm just asking, can I come back home once more?
I laid my fear on the chapel floor
Whispered every secret that I carried before
Said if there's a god in this frozen town
Let me feel one hand when I'm falling down
And I swear I heard you in the echo of the choir
Your old voice rising like a small clean fire
Singing hallelujah, I still choose you
Even with the cracks I see right through
Mama don't close your eyes (don't close your eyes), I'm still alive
From the far black wind to your wooden floor
I was lost so long, but I'm at your door
Mama, don't turn away, if you can't forgive, just let me stay
With these cold, cold hands and this trembling heart
Let me start again where you always start
Hm, hold me now
Mm, don't turn me out
