C F Everyone will sing songs of lost mothers C F Every debt will be paid in the end C F Lives lived will be brought back into focus C F As each one looses the place where it begins Em Am Please tell them I said I'm sorry F G I knew not all that I did F Am This message carried hopefully will carry F G Much more weight than words of men down here C F Feel your losses you'll know that it's October C F Stretched out short days eat you from within C F Lives lived brought back homeward C F I'm leaving home again Em Am Please tell me it's not the last time F G Though that day awaits keep it far from here F Am There's still much work we've to get done F G Your lighthouse is burning my travels clean
