She tells you how her canyon walks   Can ease a mother's fear   The trails and big groves comfort her   She feels close to God out there      But that's just how she makes it through   She's given up a lot inside   And even in those spreading trees   She'll still break down and cry      She's praying again her daughter   Will land with both feet on the ground   Nobody knows which way she'll go   Or if she'll ever come around      Maybe this time she'll finally find   The pieces that have come apart   And there'll be no more breaking   No more breaking, either heart      She carries around a photograph   Of her beautiful, coltish girl   In a big white shirt, her head tossed back   A free spirit in this world      You want to forget all that she's done   And all she's compromised   You can close your eyes and believe that now   She's the same girl in disguise      She's praying again her daughter   Will land with both feet on the ground   Nobody knows, which way she'll go   Or if she'll ever come around      Maybe this time she'll finally find   The pieces that have come apart   And there'll be no more breaking   No more breaking, either heart      Her mother's heart, wide as the sea   Would rock her back on a rising tide   She cradles the memory then lets it go   She has to leave the girl behind      She's praying again her daughter   Will land with both feet on the ground   Nobody knows, which way she'll go   Or if she'll ever come around      Maybe this time she'll finally find   The pieces that have come apart   And there'll be no more breaking   There'll be no more breaking   There'll be no more breaking   No more breaking, either heart
