Gordon Lightfoot - Does Your Mother Know Lyrics

Send Does Your Mother Know Ringtone to your Cell

Does your mother know, you had to go someday?
Does your mother know, that you would grow so fast?
Anyway, that's all you think about
You'd call her if you could

But the letters that you write in the faded winter light
Just tell her, they tell her
That you've got ten dollars and you'll be all right
And when you get straight you're gonna come back east some day

Does your mother know, you had a man in the west?
Does your mother know, you drove him from your door?
Anyway that's all you think about
You'd call her if you could

Does your mother know, you walked all day in the rain?
Does your mother know, how deep your love could be?
Anyway that's all you think about
You'd call her if you could

But the letters that you write in the faded winter light
Just tell her, they tell her
That you've got ten dollars and your rent costs eight
And when you get straight you're gonna come back east some day

But the letters that you write in the faded winter light
Just tell her, they tell her
