Intro: C#A#mFmG#C#A#mFmG#
Each time on my leaving home
C#A#mFmG#
I run back to my motherʼs arms,
C#A#mFmG#C#
One last hold and then itʼs over.
Watching me, you know I cry,
You wave a kiss to say goodbye,
Feel the sky fall down upon me!
F#FmA#mBF#
All I am, a child with promises
D#m7FmA#mBF#G#
All I have, are miles full of promises of home.
If only I could stay with you,
My train moves on, youʼre gone from view,
Now I must wait until itʼs over.
Days will pass, your words to me,
It seems so long; eternity,
But I must wait until itʼs over.
