Detours lyrics

by

The Beatles


[Verse 1]
Mother, can you hold me together?
It's so dark and I'm losin' my way
I took all of these detours to find love
But when I did, it just faded away

[Chorus]
Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine?
Do I give it away and hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars?
Mother, teach me to love with a paper-thin heart

[Verse 2]
Mother, your words are so healing
You speak of love and of light and of peace
But I've made it my course to avoid you
Just to hide from these feelings of grief

[Chorus]
Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine?
Do I give it away and hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars?
Mother, teach me to love with a paper-thin heart
Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine?
Do I give it away and hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars?
Mother, teach me to love with a paper-thin heart
[Outro]
Mother, I know you are with me
You were there when I took my first breath
I can't stop looking back for the answers
I just keep coming up with regret
There are some things I just can't forget
