| Oh mother
|
| Oh, mother, I’m running from
|
| From the arms of another
|
| Of another, broken home
|
| Remember when we were children
|
| We were just children, having fun
|
| With the old ghost in the garden
|
| Before we started, growing up
|
| Oooooh
|
| Oooooh
|
| Oh father
|
| Oh, father, I guess I’m wrong
|
| The castles in the kitchen, that we kept building
|
| Slowly gone
|
| Remember when we were children
|
| We were just children, singing songs
|
| Passed down from your father
|
| Before we started growing old
|
| When was the last time we
|
| Stayed up to count the stars?
|
| When was the last time we
|
| Said that the world was ours?
|
| Oh mother
|
| Oh, mother, I’m outgrown
|
| I’m outgrown
|
| Oh brother, my brother
|
| Where have you gone?
|
| I wrote to you, said I missed you
|
| You and our sister, are moving on
|
| Remember when we were children
|
| We were just children, having fun
|
| I fall asleep with a burden
|
| And we get up early, to beat the sun
|
| When was the last time we
|
| Stayed up to count the stars?
|
| When was the last time we
|
| Said that the world was ours?
|
| Oh mother
|
| Oh, mother, I’m outgrown
|
| We never can not know
|
| We never can outgrow
|
| When was the last time we
|
| Stayed up to count the stars?
|
| When was the last time we
|
| Said that the world was ours?
|
| Oh mother
|
| Oh, mother, I’m outgrown
|
| We never can not know
|
| We never can outgrow |
