Текст песни: All My Bags Are Packed + перевод

All my bags are packed I’m waiting for a train

All my bags are packed I’m sitting in this greyhound station

I am looking out the window, for the council the sky gives

I’m going back to Virginia where my mother is

Where my mother is, my mother is dying

All my bags are packed I kiss her on the forehead

All my bags are packed she is tiny in that hospital bed

We are through with all our fighting, she smiles and she looks tired

She is afraid of dying and I can’t help her

I can’t help her, I can’t help her

All my bags are packed I’m back in this old house

All my bags are packed in these photos we have the same mouth

There was no time to get old, and have children of my own

And understand why she chose to make this her home

To make this home, she made me her home

Daughter, Sister, Mother carved in stone

She is in a list of names of those with Cancer of the bone

And the man in black says what they always say

Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to celebrate this life

This life, this life

All my bags are packed I’m waiting for a train

All my bags are packed I’m sitting in this greyhound station

I am looking out the window, for the council the sky gives

I’m leaving Virginia where my mother lived

Where my mother lived, where my mother lived her whole life…
