Each time on my leaving home

i run back to my mothers arms

one last hold and then its over.

Watching me, you know i cry,

you wave a kiss to say goodbye.

feel the sky fall down upon me!

All i am,

a child with promises

all i have

are miles full of promises of home.

If only i could stay with you,

my train moves on, you're gone from view,

now i must wait until its over.

Days will pass, your words to me,

it seems so long; eternity,

but i must wait until it's over.
