Motherless Children Lyrics

Lyric discussion by onedoubleo 

Cover art for Motherless Children lyrics by Eric Clapton

this song is saying that no one can replace a mother no matter how hard the father or sister try another great example of claptons great way with words

This song is a cruel song. The song centers around the children's loss. It's sung from a horribly painful perspective yet it's almost like an old nursery rhyme type of song. I HATE it. I DETEST it. There's not a song I dislike more.
