Hiss Golden Messenger - Seneca (Time Is A Mother, Baby) Lyrics

Hiss Golden Messenger Lyrics

"Seneca (Time Is A Mother, Baby)"

I waited for the feast in a long line
A local band played the songs alright
Take me out and put me in that crowd
Feel alive for a moment

Who owns the world I was given?
Such a long way 'round back to the place
Before doubts set in, tumbled down
And the landscape faded
Beating my brains 'gainst hurricanes
Blossoming orange Seneca sun dream
I say it's a mother, baby

Give me whiskey and give me wine
I've walked that plank a thousand times
I'll probably walk it a thousand more
Feel alive for a moment

Who owns the world I was given?
Such a long way 'round back to the place
Before doubts set in, tumbled down
And the landscape faded
Beating my brains 'gainst hurricanes
Blossoming orange Seneca sun dream
I say it's a mother, baby
Time is a mother, baby

It's a mother, baby
Time is a mother, baby
Is a mother, baby
Time is a mother, baby
Is a mother, baby
Time is a mother, baby

Mother, baby
Mother, baby
Mother, baby
