One night I asked
if she would be okay
if suddenly one day
one day I had to go away
she held me tight and asked me
just where I had to go
I pet her head and answered
well, dear, I don't know
I didn't leave her, no
but I asked her every night
that if I went so suddenly
if she would be alright
and every day she checked my room
to see if I was there
and there I was, laying in bed
without a single care
as time went on I think
maybe she came to see
one day I'd like to go
and she would not see me
another night, like any night I asked
if she would be okay
if suddenly one day
one day I had to go away
she began to cry
then held me tight
and said if I were to go
if I were to go, she'd be alright
I smiled and told her goodnight
and as she slept so sweet
I packed my bags
and quietly I stood out on the street
I hailed a taxi
somewhere far
never looking back I wondered
just how strong you are
as morning light
shone through the window
in the train I traveled all night
I'm sure by now you know
And 7 years passed
not once looking back there
but now I had to know
if you woke up without a care
I took that train and taxi
back to somewhere far
just because I had to know
just how strong you are
and still you live in that house
I knocked upon the door
I wondered if you loved me
if you cared anymore
And there you stood
in the doorway staring back at me
expressions change before at last
you look so very happy
there you were
fully grown
and living
on your own
I asked you that night
that if I were to die
so suddenly
if you would cry
you looked at me
with those eyes
from many lonely years
had looked so wise
"no ma'am
I wouldn't shed a tear
if so suddenly you were
to disappear"
I looked at her
my eyes so wide
I wonder when I left
if she ever cried
she held me close
and said "goodbye
just incase
you were to die"
we walked throughout the house
thinking back years ago
she's so much stronger now
this I know
that night she fell asleep
and I knew she'd be alright
I watched her lovingly
until I saw dawn's light
that morning she woke
and knocked upon my door
and there I lay, cold and blue
upon my old bedroom floor
