Evacuee
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
