|
There are sounds in the hallways and thuds on my wall |
|
I can still feel the scorching heat from those evening brawls |
|
When you left me in that room you never made a sound |
|
I stood their stranded as my tears came pouring down |
|
I remember the whispers muttered in the night |
|
Cries from the rooms and doctors cloaked in white |
|
You stood there in the doorway a look was on your face |
|
Like you were being blessed with this sad and sudden grace |
|
Let me fall into your arms tonight |
|
I wanna sink down low and feel you hold me tight |
|
You took me in your arms once and you could understand |
|
Don't you ever let me go again |
|
You struggled for me |
|
I know for a better life |
|
You've worked so many hours and so many nights |
|
And then I went away from you into the |
|
Deep South |
|
Hoping that its heat would burn my demons out |
|
You've had enough |
|
I think you're gonna crack |
|
My father went away and |
|
I don't think he's coming back |
|
And now you put me down each and every day |
|
But can you remember mom that it is never/not to late |
|
In front of the house |
|
I waited for a sign |
|
Something that would let me know that it was gonna be alright |
|
But now I'm older and things still look the same |
|
Look at us momma we're still drenched in pain |
|
So take me in your car and we will slowly drive |
|
Through those tunnels and those backstreets of our lonely lives |
|
Let me fall into your arms tonight |
|
I wanna sink down low and feel you hold me tight |
|
You took me in your arms once and you could understand |
|
Don't you ever let me go again |
|
Momma promise you won't let me go |
|
Momma promise me that now you know |
|
That I never want you to ever let me go again |
