about

Written for my mother Frances Anna Stephenson (Carlton before she was married to my Dad Alfred Patrick Stephenson
Fuk they were bloody good people, I am so lucky to have had their shelter
Im putting this one out to my Scouse brother in music Mr Ian McNabb who lost his dear mother of late
I know too well that bitter sweet experience, sweet linked to their angel flight and freedom after many years on this earth giving and loving unconditionally
With thanks and appreciation
Martin xxx

lyrics

Mother’s son

When I’m talking to you Ma
I see your golden home
And I feel so proud and tall ya know
Just to be a Mothers son
I don’t need no warrior in me
To get my message done
I am blessed to know the truth my love
And to be, a Mother’s son

Well I’ve been up here so long now
I call this exile home
Though the journey has been dark at times
Least I’ve seen my children grown
When the sun beats down so loathfully
Still I never feel alone
For I can stand here tall and proud and say
I am, my Mother’s son

The open Ross-shire skies they cry
Then skim a rosy dawn
And the tender lark she flies so high
Soon to be in bond
Just like your sweet medicine Ma
I feel you call me home
For you have been the sail throughout my life
And I am proud, to be a Mother’s son

For Frances Anne Stephenson
24th October 1933/ March 2003
