Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa
[Verse 1]
You're not heavy
I rocked you to sleep, I hold you for hours long
Never heavy
I won't let you weep
[Chorus]
Hush, my child, you're mine
All my life, I try
[Verse 2]
Oh, you were never heavy, light just like a feather
I ran from the terror, the ground was red from the led
You were never scary, I knew you were special
My only intention, alone, I left to the west
Then moved to the city, eight months, we were pregnant
You came out so precious, in the snow, you would grow
Your mama loves you, you'll never be alone
[Chorus]
Hush, my child, you're mine (I know, I know, I know, hey)
All my life, I try (Sorry, mama, sorry, mama, whoa, whoa)
To keep you warm, if I go (If I go, I'll be so good without you, mama, I just won't grow without you, whoa)
You're still my child, don't cry
[Outro]
Death is nothing at all, it does not count
I only slipped away into the next room
Nothing has happened
Everything remains exactly how it was
I am I and you are you
And the old life that we had so fondly together is untouched, unchanged
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still
Call me by the old, familiar name
