lyrics

If I were a mother, I'd wake every night
Straining to keep my eyes open wide
Showing love no matter who was in sight
But I'm not a mother
No, I'm not a mother tonight

If I were at home, what a daughter I'd be
Showing the words that phones take from me
Singing in church in four part harmony
But I'm not at home
So, what is my home tonight

Oh, somehow the meaning of my name came undone
From walking in the snow

If I were asleep
I could dream it alright
Stop the unraveling, cut out the fights
Hold out my arms to a child out of sight
But I'm not asleep
And I will have no such dream tonight

Oh, somehow the meaning of my name came undone
From walking in the snow

Just as nameless I came
I am nameless again tonight
