Sarahs Mother

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, I was reading an article the other day about people who suffered from mental health problems and were not really receiving all the help they should have or deserved. Anyway that article prompted this song, and every town or village has a person like Sarahs mother, sad but true.   Willie

As always this is how it was written but may vary a little.

Sarahs mother is dancing in the street again
She needs a helping hand
She's lost her way.
And Sarahs mother is climbing up those walls again
You can hear her shout
There's no way out
Sarahs mother is dancing in the street again

Sarahs mother has stopped taking all her pills
She says they make her choke
Get stuck in her throat
And Sarahs mother she did the best she could
But people laugh
Say that she's no good
Sarahs mother has stopped taking all her pills again

Inst

Sarahs mother has been taken in
By kindly people who live at number ten.
Warm tea and sympathy
And a promise to drop by again
Sarahs mother has been dancing in the street again.
