Lyrics
AT THE KITCHEN TABLE - MAMAS HANDS IN MINE
TEAR DROPS FALLING FROM HER EYES
SHE SAID I WON'T MISS YOUR FATHERS MUDDY BOOTS
OR HIS CLOTHES PILED UP IN OUR ROOM
BUT I REACH FOR HIM WHEN I WAKE
STILL SMELL HIS SKIN ON THE PILLOWCASE
I FEEL SO LOST WITHOUT YOUR DAD
WHO WILL I TELL ABOUT MY ORDINARY DAY
WHO'LL LISTEN WHEN I'VE GOT NOTHING TO SAY
WHEN THERE'S ONLY SILENCE TO ANSWER ME
WHO WILL I TELL AS I CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP
AS I DROVE HOME FROM MY MOMS I THOUGHT OF US
AND THAT NIGHT ON THE BEACH WE MADE LOVE
WRAPPED IN BLANKETS WET FROM OCEAN AIR
THOSE ARE MEMORIES ONLY WE CAN SHARE
I DON'T KNOW HOW I'D GO ON
IF SUDDENLY YOU WERE GONE
WHAT IF I HAD TO FACE THIS WORLD ALONE
CHORUS
WE TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED THOUGH WE HAVE NO RIGHT
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S LEFT OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
CHORUS
