|
I grew so old |
|
In that house |
|
I lived in |
|
They brought me here ' |
|
Cause I can't take care |
|
I lost my worth |
|
And my purpose here |
|
I feel you cry |
|
But I can't speak my mind |
|
Will you hold me |
|
And never let me go ' |
|
Cause I hate it when you walk outside that door ' |
|
Cause I know |
|
I won't ever see your eyes |
|
The eyes I gave you |
|
When my eyes shut |
|
They'll take me to the land |
|
For fiftie years |
|
I lived there with my man |
|
And on my own |
|
I lived for fortie more |
|
I watched you grow up |
|
From babies on the floor |
|
To the beautiful women that you are |
|
And I hated that you've gone away so far |
|
Cause I know |
|
I won't ever see those eyes |
|
The eyes I gave you |
|
The evenings fall |
|
They'll drag me out the hall |
|
Up to my bunk and drug me 'til |
|
I'm numb But pass the haze |
|
I see your pretty face |
|
Remember me when |
|
I'm gone You know |
|
I love you |
|
Though I can hardly say |
|
And I hate it when you see me in this way |
|
But in darkness |
|
I'll always see those eyes |
|
The eyes I gave you |
