Tom Rush - Child's Song lyrics

Goodbye Momma, goodbye to you too Pa Little sister, you'll have to wait a while to come along Goodybye to this house and all it's memories We just got too old to say we're wrong Got to make one last trip to my bedroom Guess I'll have to leave some stuff behind It's funny how the same old crooked pictures Just don't seem the same to me tonight There ain't no use in shedding lonely tears Mamma There ain't no use in shouting at me Pa I can't live no longer with your fears Mamma I love you but that hasn't helped at all Each of us must do the things that matter All of us must see what we can see It was long ago, you must remember You were once as young and scared as me I don't know how hard it is yet Mamma When you realize you're growing old I know how hard is not to be younger I know you've tried to keep me from the cold Thanks for all you done, it may sound hollow Thank you for the good times that we've known But I must find my own road, now to follow You will all be welcome in my home Got my suitcase, I must go now I don't mind about the things you said I'm sorry Mom, I don't know where I'm going Remember little sister ,look ahead Tomorrow I'll be in some other sunrise Maybe I'll have someone at my side Mamma, give your love back to your husband Father, you've have taught me well, goodbye Goodbye Mamma, goodbye to you too Pa
