"Suspended In Heaven" lyrics - MANDOLIN ORANGE

Mother is gone
Her journey's unending
She's leaving this shore
For the sea of all knowing
She's gone on to find
Where the gods hide and wait
Silently callin' her children back to them

[Chorus:]
Mother is gone
Her journey's unending
I see her pass by
In the night sky a-glowing
And she'll see the blue of the ocean's rising
The tides of a teardrop suspended in heaven

Mother is gone
Her body's at rest
Her spirit is on
Its heavenly quest
The sun and the moon
Just two points of light
A beacon from home
An anchor in flight

[Chorus:]
Mother is gone
Her journey's unending
I see her pass by
In the night sky a-glowing
And she'll see the blue of the ocean's rising
The tides of a teardrop suspended in heaven

[Mandolin solo]

Mother is gone
Her soul climbed the mountain
That leapt to the stars
Just a-singing and shouting
She lives in the dust
That shimmers and shines
Follows the pathway
No mortal can climb

[Chorus:]
Mother is gone
Her journey's unending
I see her pass by
In the night sky a-glowing
And she'll see the blue of the ocean's rising
The tides of a teardrop suspended in heaven
