Evacuee

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

All I am, a child with promises

All I have are miles full of promises of home

Days will pass, your words to me

It seems so long, eternity

But I must wait until it's over
