Each time on my leaving home I run back to my mother's arms One last hold and then it's 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 it's over Days will pa**, your words to me It seems so long; eternity But I must wait until it's over
