Lyrics
Your Mother and My Mother
We’re all renting rooms in this house,
fear is the cheapest one here.
I’d like to see you in a room in this house,
one with a little more cheer.
For I know the Inn Keeper who runs this galaxy,
happy to help you with one word from me.
Tonight get some rest and let your heart mend,
sing me tomorrow, we’ll go see my friend
Chorus:
For your mother and my mother
are good friends who care for each other
Your heart and my heart
belonged to each other right here from the start.
Old, old friends, very, very old friends
We’re all renting rooms in this house,
joy is the finest one here.
We can explore all the rooms in this house,
with a view that is forever clear.
For I know the Inn Keeper who runs this galaxy,
the drinks will be flowing tonight and they’re free.
To leave a tip of a generous size
—let love and playfulness show in your eyes.
END: Send that thought up with your heart wide open,
somewhere, something good will happen (2x)
