The Sleeping - Oh, Gloria lyrics

rate me

Mother's love, cornered and shaking up.

The sun, bright on such a violent day,

See the blood on the shattered dinner plates.

Six years old, frozen still,

I couldn't watch your rolling eyes escape.

I could never be this brave without your face.

Oh, I owe you everything

Oh, Gloria, oh, oh, everything.

Oh, I owe you everything

Devil's hands, wrapped tight around your neck,

my feet kicking in defensive ways.

Yeah, I can still envision blood on the shattered dinner plates.

You sprung up... had enough.

A second wind until the sirens came.

I would never be this brave without your face.

Oh, I owe you everything

Oh, Gloria, oh, oh, everything.

Oh, I owe you everything

Yeah, I could never be this brave without your face.

Oh, I owe you everything

Oh, Gloria, oh, oh, everything.

Oh, I owe you everything
