lyrics

The Mothergoose Song
(Cardier)

Someone said Mothergoose is dead -
Someone is running by my window -
Someone cried Mothergoose has died -
Somebody’s footsteps running to somewhere outside
And peace is real
I know by my window
Whether Mothergoose could really die.

Someone said Superman has bled -
Someone is falling by my window -
Someone heed, Superman can bleed -
Somebody’s footsteps running to somewhere indeed
And peace is real
I know by my window
Hoping Superman can really fly by window.

I saw someone going by -
Could be a stranger in a storybook time
But somebody’s footsteps sound so strangely like mine -
Yes, somebody’s footsteps sound so strangely like mine -
So real.

And by my window I know peace is real
I know by my window whether Mothergoose could really
Die by my window -
I know peace is real -
I know by my window hoping Superman can really
Fly by my window.
I saw someone going by -
Could be a stranger in a storybook time
But somebody’s footsteps sound so strangely like mine -
Yes, somebody’s footsteps sound so strangely like mine -
So real.

Someone said Mothergoose is dead -
Someone is running by my window.

But underlying it all are the songs. Happy/sad songs. Sweet/crazy songs. Cardier songs. CDs on the website. ... more
