Copper Mines Lyrics - When You Walk A Long Distance You Are Tired - Mothers

Stillness of limbs 

I am hardly what I say I am 

I've imagined you 

One hundred pennies 

Underneath my tongue 

And my soft dumb heart 

Grows stale at the thought of it 

What I have to give 

Is small but at least I can admit it 

But the sum of it may add up 

To your pin-pricked finger 

Or the number of times 

I've dreamt it 

This is me combing your hair 

In the wrong direction 

In the wrong direction 

This is me mouthing words to you 

From the longest distance 

From the longest distance 

I've buried you in copper mines 

Never mind, never mind 

Never mind
