Mother Dear Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

Oh Mother dear 

What a night this has been 

I awoke in the light of a vision in white 

The prettiest girl that I have ever seen 

Lately my love, said the lady in white 

I have watched from afar, but love draws me near 

Now take my hand, hold tight, Mother dear 

Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? 

Was it just another dream..... in the night? 

Mother dear, on that same silver night Saw a figure in black by the lady 

in white 

He said his name was death, was he right? 

Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? 

Was it just another dream..... in the night? 

Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? 

Was it just another dream..... in the night? 

Mother dear, what a night this has been 

It's so cold by your side, no don't cry, can't you see? 

Won't you listen to me please, Mother dear 

Was it just another dream, Mother dear?
