My window pane was leaking glass,
|
Cut my arm and then you laughed.
|
I jumped from just one story high,
|
And now I'm stuck here 'til I die.
|
Now I'm stuck here 'til I die.
|
Now I'm stuck here 'til I die.
|
|
Don't you remember me?
|
I swear I knew you when I knew you there.
|
We loved and learned under the sun.
|
We had more fun than anyone.
|
|
She's eight years old and moving out.
|
She's halfway 'cross the country now.
|
She's smarter than alot of us.
|
She doesn't break or bend or fuss.
|
|
Maybe she's in heaven now,
|
Or maybe she's back here somehow.
|
She's wearing all the finest clothes,
|
And draped in jewelry head to toe.
|
It is impossible to know,
|
There is no ending to the show.
|
The grand finale, big hoorah.
|
One day we're here the next we're not.
|
|
Oh, look what I've done here.
|
Oh, look what I've done here.
|
Let these thoughts creep in.
|
Let 'em seep right in.
|
Let these thoughts creep in.
|
Let 'em seep right in.
|
|
I hope she doesn't have to see,
|
What became of her family.
|
Her father left after she died.
|
Her brothers cried and cried and cried.
|
|
She took your man, I took your name.
|
The miracle that never came.
|
But oh, her life is beautiful.
|
She'll live through me and live through you.
|
|
I used to sing you lullabies.
|
I'd hold you when you'd start to cry.
|
I was your mother and your friend,
|
And she remembered me from then.
|
I was your mother and your friend.
|
Don't you remember me from then?
