Cowboy Junkies

My mother sang the sweetest melody
Although she never sang in a musical key
Id hear her through the house
My name called out loud
My mother sang the sweetest melody
My mothers hands were always cool and soft
And like her eyes they would caress with every touch
She would listen to my chatter
As if every word I spoke mattered
Shed hold me close and whisper in my ear
Shed say, girl you are a part of me
I have made you strong
When you grow up and are on your own
Remember to win them with your song
My father sang in perfect harmony
