Ask My Mum How She Is

Ask My Mum How She Is...

My Mum, she tells a lot of lies,
She never did before.
But from now until she dies,
She'll tell a whole lot more.

Ask my Mum how she is
And because she can't explain,
She will tell a little lie
Because she can't describe the pain.

Ask my Mum how she is,
She'll say "I'm alright."
If that's the truth, then tell me,
why does she cry at night ?

Ask my Mum how she is,
if you think shes coping well.
She dosn't have a choice you see,
She wants to scream & yell.

Ask my Mum how she is,
"I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping."
For God's sake Mum, just tell the truth,
Just say your heart is broken.

I know she'll love me all her life,
like I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how she is,
She'll lie and say she's fine.

I'm waiting for her at Rainbow Bridge.
But I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you don't listen,
Hug her and hold her near.

On the day we meet again,
Happy and no longer old
I'll say, "You're lucky to get in here, Mum,
With all the lies you told!"
