Cowboy Junkies - Musical Key Lyrics
My mother sang the sweetest melodyAlthough she never sang in a musical keyId hear her through the houseMy name called out loudMy mother sang the sweetest melodyMy mothers hands were always cool and softAnd like her eyes they would caress with every touchShe would listen to my chatterAs if every word I spoke matteredShed hold me close and whisper in my earShed say, girl you are a part of meI have made you strongWhen you grow up and are on your ownRemember to win them with your songMy father sang in perfect harmonyAnd though he never sang in a musical keyYou could hear him when hed enter the houseThe kiss hed give my maMy father sang in perfect harmonyMy fathers words were always sure and clearAnd like his presence they would rid me of my fearsWhen I crawled up on his kneesI was safe as I could beHed hold me tight and whisper in my earHed say, girl you are a part of meI have made you strongWhen you grow up and are on your ownRemember to win them with your songMy mother sang in perfect harmonyAlthough she never sang in a musical key
