  my friends, my dear friends
  and lovers, oh my lovers
  i'd leave you for them
  
  they got a hand on my back
  
  mama has money now and mama has friends
  she's making rags for some uptown hags
  with their money in bags
  and why are you so sad?
  
  why are you always so sad?
  why do i not understand?
  why don't i see what it is you see?
  why can i live and just be?
  
  i'm full of guilt
  i am full of guilt
  you're very tall, you're very handsome
  you have it all, your skin smells like man
  
  and i, you never know how i ache
  you will never know how i ache
  don't touch that in grace
  
  ever considered the sea?
  i heard you had to be strong
  why not float around with me?
  it won't take you so long
  
  you can go where i'm at
  you can hang around with me
  and a few good men will go where they all
  where they all not be
  and a few good mothers go for what they,
  what they all not teach
  
  and i long for a touch or reminder of us but,
  but it must not be
  
  and a few strong branches over water reach for what they all not reach
  
  i hope your mother knows where it is you have been
  i hope your mother knows what it is you have seen
  she'd be so proud
  she will never know how i ache
