Mother Said - Air Supply

Mother said, don’t leave me

There are monsters at the door

I put on all my armour

But I couldn’t find my sword

But there’ll always be tomorrow

Just you wait and see

If they come to take you prisoner

I’ll be there to set you free

Mother said, I’m grown up

In a Sunday shirt and tie

As long as I can see you

Can I hold you when I cry

There’ll always be tomorrow

I’ll be so big and strong

I’ll sleep with all the lights out

Not afraid of anyone

I need you to stay

I need you to stay

I need you

I need you

Mother said she’s sleeping

So I climbed back into bed

But the monsters took her prisoner

That’s all that father said

So I thought about tomorrow

And I learned to be alone

Making friends with shadows

As they moved around my home

Mother never leaves me

I can always see her smile

I sit here in the evening

To talk to her awhile

There’ll always be tomorrow

Just you wait and see

I know that any moment

She will come to set me free

I need you to stay

I need you to stay

I need you

I need you

I need you to stay

I need you to stay

I need you

I need you
