Mother's Night Lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Oh, people killing people 

Kings to conquer kings 

Always in the seeker 

Taking the light 

Away from me 

Death comes to the seeker 

And death comes to the fool 

Death comes to us all one day 

Let the river of time swim over you 

Oh swim over you 

Oh time swim over you 

Mother fighting mother 

Children killing kings and kings and children too 

[ HELP!!! I can't figure this one out ] 

Playin a different tune 

The music binds them ho 

The music binds them all 

The music binds them 

{Ahh another line to figure out!!!] 

Stronger than the chain gang 

Smarter than the song 

Let the music bind them 

Each my face inside here? 

Teach my light to wear a different? 

I have many parents 

I have only one mother too 

Of the open west you waitin' 

Sprung me unto you 

Sprung me unto you 

That sprung me unto you 

I have many fathers 

But only one mother 

Sprung beyond emotion 

That sprung me unto you 

So I bring a word 

So I bring a word here 

So lights out away 

Death comes to the seeker 

Well death come to the fool yes he do 

Death come to us all one day 

Sit back and let the river of time run over you 

Oh and mother make them... 

Rhythm is the one I climb as 

The heartbeat of the time is beating on us 

Speaking of the time is beating on us 

Snap up the gate shut on yourself 

Snap up the gate shut on yourself 

Snap up the gate shut on yourself 

Snap up the gate shut on yourself 

Snap up the gate shut on yourself 

Snap up the gate shut on yourself 

Oh yeah 

Oh I was dreaming 

Oh...??? 

Some people locked in cages 

With the keys on the inside 

With the keys on the inside 

Ahhh well aww too bad ......[don't know] 

King to King oh many colors 

Paint the songs that roll to smother everyone 

Black as night oh black as night 

[don't know???] 

If you are in the corner 

Locked in the shadow 

Don't try to cast your shadow 

On the bear upon your [don't know] 

Just step out into the light 

Yes and let the sun shine bright on you 

Just step out into the light 

Yes and let the sun shine bright on you 

All these changes happen with changes 

One day has a good king 

One day has a bad king 

All the same in time 

Be your own king
