  • Mother rose Every little morn'
    To tend to me There she stood
    Waiting by the door Selflessly

    Took my hand Took it with a smile tenderly
    Mother rose Every little morn'
    To tend to me Now's the time
    To turn the view Now that I have you

    And I'll rise Every little morn'
    To tend to thee When you rise
    Open up your eyes You will see
    There I'll be Waiting by the door
    Come to me Take my hand
    Look into your heart There I'll be

    Now's the time To turn the view
    Now that I have you

    Now's the time To turn the view
    Now that I have you

    Roses growing by my door Climbing up the vine
    All the thorns and pain obscured Roses shall divine
    Where we feel no pain And the love inside
    Where roses climb Roses shall divine
    Roses shall divine Holy mother
    Mother of gold Mother with stories
    Told and retold She felt our tears
    Heard our sighs And turned to gold
    Before our eyes She rose into the light
    She rose into the light She rose into the light Writer/s: PATTI SMITH, TONY SHANAHAN

  • Nadine from Riverside, CaHow come there aren't more Patti Smith songs listed here? "Land" is pure genius.
