The rain pours down
Beating against the house
The wind blows hard
Blowing trees all over
It’s getting dark
It’s getting lonely
Where are you?
Why aren’t you here?
To tuck me in
To sing me to sleep
To get rid of the shadows
To stop all the bad dreams
When I call for you there’s no answer
Why isn’t anyone home?
Is someone going to answer me?
I don’t want to be here all alone
It’s getting cold
It’s getting quiet
Where are you?
Why aren’t you here?
To play with me
To sing with me
To laugh with me
To cry with me
As the days get darker and the nights get longer
I realize you’re not going anywhere
I am; I’m leaving you behind
And all because of one little accident
It’s getting hard
It’s getting sad
Where am I?
Why aren’t I there?
To grow up with you
To have fun with you
To go places with you
To live life with you
I’m sorry Mom; I’m sorry Dad
I wasn’t the one at fault; it was the other man
I did the smart thing; I did what you said
But now I’m being punished for a crime I didn’t commit
It’s getting brighter
It’s getting warmer
Where am I?
Why aren’t I there?
To be with you
To stay with you
To go with you
To live with you…
