Mother's Day

It's mother's day, I'm in an airport alone
 My daughter sounds happy on the phone
 I've had her picture in my head all day
 A mother wraps up her baby and walks away
 She's asleep when I get home
 I wake up before anyone
 Climb in her bed with her
 And hold my body next to hers
 Just an ordinary day hey ay
 I kiss her face when she's awake
 She tells me about yesterday
 She brings me the card she made for me
 Molly & Bob on an apple tree
 And I pour her milk, cook her eggs
 Make her lunch, pack her bag
 Walk her to school, kiss her goodbye
 She runs inside and start to cry
 Just an ordinary day
 Just an ordinary day
 An ordinary day hey ay
 And I see that nanny from Nepal and I thank her for the mother's day card
 She's bringing up someone else's son
 It's been four years since she's seen her own
 At 3, Molly's back in my arms
 And she takes her ball and runs off with a friend
 Some bad kids try to take it away
 She grabs it right back, she's not afraid
 Just an ordinary day
 Just an ordinary day
 An ordinary day hey ay
 Later on, I watch her sleep
 That same picture returns to me
 6 years ago, December day
 A mother wraps up her baby and walks away
 Just an ordinary day hey ay ay
