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

Days will pass
Your words to me
it seems so long
Eternity
But I must wait until it's over
