[00:00:00] Meanwhile My Mother - Peter Hammill

[00:00:01] Written by：Peter Hammill

[00:00:28] Mean while my mother

[00:00:34] Waiting for what

[00:00:37] I don't know

[00:00:41] The recall of a favourite memory

[00:00:45] Or perhaps for a painful one to go

[00:00:51] She doesn't let that much show

[00:01:00] Mean while above her head

[00:01:07] All my monologues flows

[00:01:12] What's that you're saying dear

[00:01:15] Wading through time like it's treacle

[00:01:17] Her eyes looking into mine although

[00:01:23] She won't even notice me go

[00:01:31] In the mean time I pack her things up

[00:01:35] And get them ready to store

[00:01:40] In between times I take a good look around

[00:01:45] For we'll not be visiting here much more

[00:02:14] Mean while my mother

[00:02:20] Distance encamped in her eyes

[00:02:27] Not quite oblivious but

[00:02:29] Close to a state of inertia

[00:02:32] In which she won't even realise

[00:02:38] How everything's passing her by

[00:02:53] Mean while my mother

[00:02:59] Lost in a world of her own

[00:03:07] Turns to look out of the window

[00:03:10] Down to the verdant earth below

[00:03:16] Some journeys we make alone

[00:03:32] Somehow we'll leave all we've known

[00:04:02] Mean while my mother

[00:04:10] Waiting for what

[00:04:14] Time to go
