lyrics

Mother was I taking too much, u pulled me from your breast
A baby bottle in hot water floats, I clutch it close to my chest
My heart bobbed over the waves out on St. Vincents Gulf
Put it out of my mind I said, it’s time you learnt to be strong

CHORUS
(It’s time you learnt to be) strong, sit with me a little longer
(It’s time you learnt to be) strong, If I love no one, no one can hurt me
It’s time you learnt to be (strong)

We came together at first, I had to know I was safe
If I love no one, no one can hurt me, my heart still bobs on the waves
A child won’t grow in a womb cos the desert is not its home
You kept saying there’s someone missing, we’re out here on our own

CHORUS

Mother when you walked up the hill, now I’m the father I’m told
Just a little old lady lost, it was dark and getting cold
Like you always used to say, you know you’ll never go wrong
If every footstep is retraced, it’s time you learnt to be strong

Every footstep’s retraced, I understood your struggle
When I found you at the corner store with milk for the baby’s bottle
A bottle in hot water floats, I clutch it close to my chest
I let my heart float away, if I could bring it home to rest
