Mother Lyrics - Roy Orbison

The eagle perched on the flying pole 

He arched around the wire 

This isn't what we intended for you 

Wake up, no don't lie 

Mother What have we done to you, 

mother Can we make it up to you, 

mother What can we do to start anew 

Hear now what I am saying 

If just for your own sake 

To balance out your portion 

You must put back what you take 

Mother What have we done to you, 

mother Can we make it up to you, mother 

What can we do to start anew 

And why can't it be Like it's been to mother 

For each other to live We just all have to give
