Your eyes are gone

Mother the streets are cold do you know my name? I am getting old don't forget to pray so maybe God can take your place when you are gone... Mother the streets are dark will you walk with me to the park? will you hold my hand? will you take me in your arms when the wild big dogs bark? Mother what did I do wrong? why did you have to leave me alone? why over the years you didn't return? why you blame the world for your faults? Mother do you even understand? do you know what I'm talking about? do you even care? your eyes are gone your face is pale you look like a ghost maybe you are... and always were
