Eric Clapton - Holy Mother

Live in Birmingham, England July 1986

Lyrics

Holy Mother, where are you?

Tonight I feel broken in two.

I've seen the stars fall from the sky.

Holy mother, can't keep from crying.

Oh I need your help this time,

Get me through this lonely night.

Tell me please which way to turn

To find myself again.

Holy mother, hear my prayer,

Somehow I know you're still there.

Send me please some peace of mind;

Take away this pain.

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait any longer.

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait for you.

Holy mother, hear my cry,

I've cursed your name a thousand times.

I've felt the anger running through my soul;

Holy Mother can't keep control

Oh I feel the end has come,

No longer my legs will run.

You know I would rather be

In your arms tonight.

When my hands no longer play,

My voice is still, I fade away.

Holy mother, then I'll be

Lying in, safe within your arms.

I read that this beautiful song was a tribute to the brilliant & tragic pianist/singer, Richard Manuel, of The Band.

This is THE rock and roll dream team. Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Nathan East and Greg Phillinganes. No one does it better than these guys. No one can play a guitar with the soul of Eric Clapton except perhaps Stevie Ray Vaughn and he is not longer with us. Eric always said his goal was to bring a crowd do tears with a single note. He does it repeatedly in this song.

As a Native woman, I relate to this beautiful song in the spirit of a Native woman. I see the heart of the one I call Mother breaking with our disregard for her well being. Mr. Clapton has touched my heart deeply with this song so powerful. Thank you, brother. I know where you are coming from.

I love Clapton, and love this song. However, it is eerily reminicent of "Storybook Love (Once Upon a Time)" from "The Princess Bride". youtube.com/watch?v=COhvCGJIw8M I believe that song was written and sung by Willy DeVille, but it is commonly associated with the great Mark Knopfler, who composed the soundtrack for that wonderful film. The trouble is both songs came out around the same time. Could be just serendipity. And if I would have to give the benefit of the doubt to Mr. Clapton.

I Love This Song-Play-n-sing This Song(jury's still out on the singing vote)But I've Changed The TITLE,at least in my venue's. HOLY FATHER! That's just the way it is......................Mary did you know , your baby boy will save our son's and daughter's,,,,Did you know,,,,that this child that you delivered ,,would soon deliver you. Check Out Mary Did You Know-Mark Lowr'y it's good. Clapton is 4 God,He's 4 love.
