Mother Said

Mother said, don't leave me There are monsters at the door I put on all my armour But I couldn't find my sword But there'll always be tomorrow Just you wait and see If they come to take you prisoner I'll be there to set you free Mother said, I'm grown up In a Sunday shirt and tie As long as I can see you Can I hold you when I cry There'll always be tomorrow I'll be so big and strong I'll sleep with all the lights out Not afraid of anyone I need you to stay I need you to stay I need you I need you Mother said she's sleeping So I climbed back into bed But the monsters took her prisoner That's all that father said So I thought about tomorrow And I learned to be alone Making friends with shadows As they moved around my home Mother never leaves me I can always see her smile I sit here in the evening To talk to her awhile There'll always be tomorrow Just you wait and see I know that any moment She will come to set me free I need you to stay I need you to stay I need you I need you I need you to stay I need you to stay I need you
