The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

INFO

originally by The Gun Club

MOTHER OF EARTH

I've gone down the river of sadness
I've gone down the river of pain
In the dark, under wires I hear them call my name

I gave you the key to the highway and the key to my motel door
And I'm tired of leaving and leaving and I won't come back no more

Oh, my dark-eyed friend
I'm recalling you again
Soft voices that speak nothing, nothing to the end

Oh, Mother of Earth
The blind they call but, yet stay behind the wall
And their sadness grows like weeds upon my thighs and knees

Oh, Mother of Earth
The wind is hot
I tried my best but I could not
And my eyes fall from me in this open country
