Kelly Groucutt - Dear Mama lyrics

I just have time to write this letter I hope it gets back home to you I really have to say I'm sorry For running out on you Before my time is through If I had told you I was leaving You would have tried to change my mind Remember when you said I did not care about you You said you'd be the last thing on my mind You'd be the last thing on my mind I didn't mean to make you cry, mama I didn't mean to make you cry, I didn't mean to make you cry, over me, And the guns are getting louder, I can hear the cannon roar And I don't think I can k** again What am I fighting for? Please God end this war. And I know I'm not a coward But I'm so very much afraid Of ending like the other kids In their shallow graves. The captain tells me we don't stand a chance Although help is on its way I'd dearly love to see your smiling face again There's so much I'd like to say Oh, before I'm blown away. I didn't mean to make you cry, mama I didn't mean to make you cry, And you're so wrong to think I did not care about you You'll be the last thing on my mind You'll be the last thing on my mind I didn't mean to make you cry, mama I didn't mean to make you cry, And you're so wrong to think I did not care about you You'll be the last thing on my mind, oh mama You'll be the last thing on my mind
