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
