tommy stepped away
|
from the world for awhile
|
he only left a picture
|
of a seventh grade smile
|
he got in between
|
a mother's lost hope
|
and a father's lost dream
|
a head of ideas that don't mean anything
|
|
tommy had a problem
|
with being alone
|
he spent everyday of his life on his own
|
but there's no one to blame
|
it's hard to keep friends
|
when you keep moving away
|
the cards and letters
|
don't mean anything
|
they don't mean anything
|
|
when you go, you're gone
|
and if you feel you can't go on
|
you can always come home
|
|
tommy stepped away
|
from the world for awhile
|
his first few steps, they felt like a mile
|
they never could believe
|
he said good-bye and they just watched him
|
leave
|
all the things he knew don't mean anything
|
they don't mean anything
|
|
and if you go too far
|
you might never come back
|
and i might go too far
|
and i won't ever some back
|
and when you go i'll wait for you
|
and when you go i'll be there too
|
