Each time on my leaving home
I run back to my mother's arms,
One last hold and then it's over.


Watching me, you know I cry,
You wave a kiss to say goodbye,

Feel the sky fall down upon me!

All I am, a child with promises

All I have, are miles full of promises of home.

If only I could stay with you,

My train moves on, you're gone from view,
Now I must wait until it's over.


Days will pass, your words to me,
It seems so long; eternity,
But I must wait until it's over.
