Bella White Rhododendron Lyrics
As I look out my window all I can see is a bush of rhododendron flowers
staring back at me. And a mama robin. She is always working. Bringing
worms and bugs to feed her young while the snakes and house cats are
lurking.
All this time I’ve spent inside my head. Well I’ve been hurting, is the
world still turning? For this weight I bare leaves me so damn scared. I
guess we’ve all been hurting like a little bird I’m learning.
Could I be a mother or a lover to something greater than my own instinct
to suffer? And would a sheep run if she knew she was for the slaughter,
or would she simply let her soft wool warm her daughter?
All this time I’ve spent inside my head. Well I’ve been hurting, is the
world still turning? For this weight I bear leaves me so damn scared. I
guess we’ve all been hurting like a little bird I’m learning.
Now if a mother were to stop working, then her babes, they would die
and the lamb did cry when her mama’s fate became certain.
