Detours Lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Mother, can you hold me together 

It's so dark and I'm losing my way 

I took all of these detours to find love 

But when I did, it just faded away 

Now what do I do 

With the sweet love of mine 

Do I give it away and 

Hope someday I'll find 

Someone half as awake 

As the moon and the stars 

Mother, teach me to love 

With a paper-thin heart 

Mother, your words are so healing 

You speak of love and of light and of peace 

But I've made it my course to avoid you 

Just to hide from these feelings of grief

Now what do I do 

With the sweet love of mine 

Do I give it away and 

Hope someday I'll find 

Someone half as awake 

As the moon and the stars 

Mother, teach me to love 

With a paper-thin heart 

Now what do I do 

With the sweet love of mine 

Do I give it away and 

Hope someday I'll find 

Someone half as awake 

As the moon and the stars 

Mother, teach me to love 

With a paper-thin heart 

Mother, I know you are with me 

You were there when I took my first breath 

I can't stop looking back for the answers 

I just keep coming up with regret 

There are some things I just can't forget
