Gogol Bordello — Letter to Mother lyrics

Lyrics

The noise in this joint is unearthly
And soon I awkwardly say
«Look, there it is, my whole life in the ashtray
I can’t go back to her that way»
'Cause in blue darkness of a night she keeps imagining one thing
Someone stuck his Finnish knife under my heart
I know that even though she doesn’t show it She grieves sorely for her son
And often walks out to the road in her old-fashioned coat
And in blue darkness of a night she keeps imagining one thing
How someone stuck his Finnish knife under my heart
Under my heart
In blue darkness of a night she keeps imagining one thing
Someone stuck his Finnish knife under my heart
I know she’s there grieving sorely for me I know she’s there turning grey for me And when I’ll come back she’ll forgive me so Motherly, motherly, motherly
