[lalgee]

I didn't want to leave you
But I did anyway
I didn't know it would be like this
Too much to find out
Too late
As the years roll by

All the voices yet only one
I still hear.
Did I do what I should?*
Did I make it as far as I could?
I look but you don't see
I pretend I haven't, hadn't, won't.
But I do.

I go back inside
Where I'm free to see and look
And dream of a face*
That's sees and looks too
Back inside where no one can see
How I see me
And you.

How can that baby*
Who wasn't near grown
Be here now*
After all the rolling years
Like a statue frozen in place
In spite of the years
Life moves
Yet she stands still to wait

Moving through the fog
Searching for a way out
Or a way in.
Yet not looking so no one sees
I called to you
You wouldn't hear
Or would you?
Was that you?

In here, way down in
Where they gave me to stay
I didn't know it would work this way
I climbed down in
And you stayed out
And now you're so far away

Will we hear our own voice
And quiet the rest
And look back at a life
That I'm told not to see
When I was a mother and you were my son
If only for a moment
