A Mother Never Rests

Lyrics

Well here's what I know:
 Even when she's sleepin'
 She's still dreamin' about you
 That's the way that it goes
 Even when she's laughin'
 Part of her is worryin' 'bout somethin' she didn't do
 She only sits four minutes, she's a hummin'bird in the livin' room
 She's a silhouette smilin' with the weight of the world on her chest
 She'll move a mountain for you by the afternoon
 A mother never rests
 She works in colors
 It's her and the sun
 Wakin' up early, bringin' light to everyone
 She's countin' on angels
 And she's hopin' they're there
 But just in case,
 every time she says your name it's like a little prayer
 And there's wishin' stars for the hurt and band-aids for how it feels
 And the nightlight's on so even the sun gets to set
 She's a stubborn believer that time and a clean house is how ya heal
 So a mother never rests
 There ain't a broken bone or a birthday that she'll forget
 She bit her lip and didn't cry the day your hatchback left
 And when you hurt she hurts, that's how it is
 That's how it is, I guess
 Here's what I know
 Even when I'm sleepin'
 I'm still dreamin' all about you
