Mother of War
So silent not a single noise
The house empty, the deserted toys
My children I miss a photo I hold
Of them and my husband my heart feeling cold
My husband is away fighting for our lives
This nuisance headache because of my cries
I can't even smile my family not here
Wander will I see them again my soul filled with fear
Each day I wake and the nightmare starts
But I battle alone as we are apart
Every minute goes by like its my last
But I can't help but day dream and think of the past
My children playing safely myself making tea
My husband with his paper a happy family
I miss them so much my work has come to a halt
All this torture is mr hurlers fault
Devastation I feel drowned with tears
wandering how many more years
I am sick of this life it is so unfair
I just any my family and them always to be there
I don't even no if my husbands alive all I can do is pray
I long to receive a letter saying he is ok
I dread to see the telegram boys for all they bring is despair
Of how you have lost a loved one the sorrow you just can't bare
Lives have ended the hatred I feel
It will be a while before these hearts can heal
Everything is ruined all because of violence
All remains is a dead wrecked city, Liverpool sad in silence
