Mother Said

Mother said, don't leave me
There are monsters at the door
I put on all my armor
But I couldn't find my sword

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 say
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 say
I need you, I need you

I need you to stay
I need you to say
I need you, I need you
