She keeps me safe
She knows me well
Like mum did then
Way back when

I feel their love
Am wrapped with care
And still it's tough
To slip away

I know it's time
I try to tell
To get them ready
As I derail

Sometimes I'm here
Sometimes half there
And inbetween
Times mix and blend

My childhood peeps in
Mistakes float up
Memories of past
Rumble worries left to last

Too late now
I succumb to fog
And soon enough, I know
I'll see my mum once more

I lived and laughed
I'm in my chair
I want to go home
To see my Sam

Years from now
When you're in my shoe
You'll say goodbye
And join us too
