Lyrics
In the valley of the shadows I'm waiting
In a place of difficulty or despair, I'm waiting.
For mother and the other ones I love
I'm anticipating the presence of my mother and other cherished individuals.
So know I'll always love you
Assuring that my love for you will persist.
Until we meet above
Until we reunite in the afterlife.
In the battle of the bottle I'm an innocent
In the struggle with addiction, I am blameless.
And the breaking of glass I'm lost
When things shatter or break, I feel disoriented.
In the shadow of a downtown overpass
Amidst the gloom of an urban overpass,
My last I did exhaust
I've expended all my energy or resources.
No no no mother should ever have to lose a son
A declaration that no mother should experience the pain of losing a child.
No no no mother especially not such a handsome one
Especially not a son who is seen as attractive or beloved.
In the middle of the meadow I'm waiting
Similar to line 1, waiting in a peaceful place.
For mother and the other ones I love
Await the presence of loved ones, including mother.
There's no good why this came to pass
There's no clear reason why this tragedy happened.
There's only just because
It occurred without a logical cause.
No no no mother should ever have to lose a son
Reiterating the sentiment that no mother should endure the loss of a child.
No no no mother especially such a handsome one
Especially not a son who is perceived as attractive or dear.
