Tom Rush - Child's Song Lyrics
Goodbye Momma, goodbye to you too PaLittle sister, you'll have to wait a while to come alongGoodybye to this house and all it's memoriesWe just got too old to say we're wrongGot to make one last trip to my bedroomGuess I'll have to leave some stuff behindIt's funny how the same old crooked picturesJust don't seem the same to me tonightThere ain't no use in shedding lonely tears MammaThere ain't no use in shouting at me PaI can't live no longer with your fears MammaI love you but that hasn't helped at allEach of us must do the things that matterAll of us must see what we can seeIt was long ago, you must rememberYou were once as young and scared as meI don't know how hard it is yet MammaWhen you realize you're growing oldI know how hard is not to be youngerI know you've tried to keep me from the coldThanks for all you done, it may sound hollowThank you for the good times that we've knownBut I must find my own road, now to followYou will all be welcome in my homeGot my suitcase, I must go nowI don't mind about the things you saidI'm sorry Mom, I don't know where I'm goingRemember little sister ,look aheadTomorrow I'll be in some other sunriseMaybe I'll have someone at my sideMamma, give your love back to your husbandFather, you've have taught me well, goodbyeGoodbye Mamma, goodbye to you too Pa
