Waifs - Gillian lyrics

rate me

Oh Gillian, you’re up with the sun<br />

You’ve done a hundred things before half past nine<br />

By the time most folk are up and gone<br />

You’ll be starting on one hundred and one<br />

<br />

There’s not enough hours in a day<br />

To do all the things she’s just got to do<br />

When the daylight fades and the night invades<br />

She’s only just begun<br />

<br />

Weary as you lay at night waiting for the sun<br />

Planning out tomorrow now before this day is done<br />

‘Gillian you work too hard’<br />

But don’t you try to slow her down – she’ll tell you<br />

‘Idleness is good for none work's how I get my fun<br />

Idleness is good for none work's how I get things done’<br />

<br />

Gillian you’re the one you’re the one<br />

Shining in my life, you’re my eternal sun<br />

I’m trying to thank you now for what I’ve become<br />

But I’ve only just begun<br />

<br />

Your influence has been profound and I’m proud to be your son<br />

Your blood is my blood we are forever bound<br />

You’re the inspiration to the way I live my life<br />

I’m singing,<br />

Gillian if you weren’t my mother I would make you my wife<br />

Gillian if you weren’t my mother I’d make you my wife<br />

Gillian if you weren’t my mother I’d make you my wife<br />

Gillian if you weren’t my mother I would make you my wife
