Close your eyes and I'm with you
Desert skies and I miss you
When you were a child
You knew me by my name
You grew wild like ivy
And as you grew you forgot me
When you were told there was more
Then what I already gave
And I tried, I tried to give you a good life
And I tried, I tried to give you a good life
Listen closely I'm weeping
But still I'll sing while your sleeping
Hush now my child
I won't be here for long
And I tried, I tried to give you a good life
Good life, good life, good life, good life
And I tried, I tried to give you a good life
Good life, good life, good life, good life
I tried, I tried to give you a good life
Good life, good life, good life, good life
I tried, I tried to give you a good life
Take good care of all you've borrowed
Or there won't be a tomorrow
All I gave to you was plenty
Now I fear I'm running empty
Children listen to your mother
Please look out for one another
