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 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 a while
 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
