You sailed away, mommy
With the moon shining bright
Not like you could see
In the pews we sat tight
I held your daughter steadily

You sailed away, mommy
When the "holy" said your name
the gods cried from heaven
They felt your childrens pain
sitting alone and broken

You sailed away, mommy
When they laid you six feet under
I look up to see the rain falling
And I look up to see the roading thunder
As we felt you leaveing

You sailed away, mommy
From a past you fear haunted
You gave up easily, but you're missed
Back to the day you slowly faded
When that bottle tumbled and slipped

You sailed away, mommy
On that Blackened unknown voyage
With the moon shining bright
We found this unmistakable wreckage
Once you sailed into the night
