2. Mother's Maiden Name
(Lover Undercover, 2005)
Your mother's maiden name is written on your back
The printing press was made much later than all that
And there's a symbol there for love, two inches above
And you tell me slowly what you were thinking of
And you will see me truly
And I will call you duly
And you won't be hiding anymore
Your mother's maiden name is more than a word
It's heavier than knowledge and lighter than a bird
And it can't be replicated on water, earth or air
The fire's in your belly, and that name is in your stare
And you will see me truly
And I will call you duly
And you won't be hiding anymore
So long I waited alone
So strong, I thought I was, but I was wrong
Your mother's maiden name is written on your back
The printing press was made much later than all that
And there's a symbol there for love, in the heavens above
And you tell me slowly what you were dreaming of
And you will see me truly
And I will call you duly
And you won't be hiding anymore
