Sugarless Tea

{intimate acoustic guitar arpeggios} {slow,

warm upright bass entry} {gentle swell

of strings}

When I was a child I lost my mother

(lost my

mother)

And sometimes when I saw people walking by

With their mother,

I would think about mine {fragile,

close-mic'd vocal} Because a life without your mother

Is like a cup of tea without sugar

(so bitter,

yeah) Yes, it's like a cup of tea with no sugar

{soaring string

arrangement rises}

To all you guys

who do not know yet

The importance

of your mother

One day you will cry to see her face

But it will

be

too late {snare drops out,

instrumentation softens} Because a life without your mother

Is like a cup of tea without sugar

(no

sugar)

Yes, it's like a cup of tea with no sugar

{full climax with strings and

drums} Don't let it be too late for you Without your mother (ahhhh)

{acoustic

guitar fades

out slowly}
