Oh Mother, I Don't Know How
Oh mother, I don't know how he spoke to me
When I was in a daze by the lake
I left him- I intended to leave, I wanted to leave,
I don't know what made me stay near the lake..
Oh mother, I don't know how, I don't know how.
He spoke and spoke and I listened to him,
And oh, how much talking suit him!
Lilies spread all around us,
And if he had stayed near, I would have drowned in them..
Oh mother, I don't know how.
The sun set, and I got scared and panicked,
I forgot what path I was on,
And I forgot how I even ran home,
My heart beating, and I was frightened,
Oh mother, I don't know how, I don't know how.
Yesterday he sent me a handerchief as a gift,
A secret, perfume, and a song,
And my vision got blurry,
And I had a feeling that brought me to tears
Oh mother, I don't know how, I don't know how.
