Mother of Maladies Lyrics

["Mother of Maladies" audio begins at the 3:28 mark of the video to your right]

[Verse 1]
Feel me velvet ivory and fallen trees
The sky is thick, mother of memories
Mother of Maladies
The moon is bright, I watch it almost every night
The sands of time play a game of rhymes
They win every line

[Chorus]
Every night I am with you I feel it
Every night's not every night enough

All the time I spend with you I feel it
All the time's not all the time enough

[Verse 2]
Breathe me cleaner air, a gift from somewhere
The wait is long, I feel a summer breeze
Bring with it falling leaves
See a face, a warm embrace I feel it
The touch of skin, someone's back again
I always wonder when

[Chorus] x2

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
