Oh morning sun why wait so long
And let the somber veil persist?
Our promise ribbon drapes the sky
That with fondest love was stitched;
I’m waiting along the country mile
Oh morning sun to see you smile….
Don’t tarry long, don’t tarry long.
Oh mother, mother, mother dear!
I’ve heard your whimpers in the rain
Your heaving bosom knows the pain;
A friendly token is on its way
To chase the shadows from your heart-
Just hold on for another night.
Time is a river that runs its course
Heedless to haste or lingering sighs;
And love is the current beneath the tow
easing the river's seaward flow.
Oh mother, mother, mother dear
And love is the current beneath the tow
easing the river's seaward flow.
Oh mother, mother, mother dear
Like a river, I'm coming to you.
