Look Mummy, No Hands
(专辑: There Will Be No Intermission - 2019)
Remember the
Fairmont The
two of us there, mom By the
merry-go-round I
stood there entranced As the
bright horses danced To a
magical sound Just a
dollar for pleasure untold And I
rode in a
whirl of scarlet and gold Look, Mummy, no hands I'm riding the
roundabout all by myself Look, Mummy, no hands I
called as I
passed her, faster and faster "Hold on tight, darling" She called out in fear But I
laughed and pretended That I
couldn't hear How careless we are when we're young Remember the
years Of the
sulks and the
tears Do you recall? I
hated you when you said Be back by ten I
knew it all Always asking to know what I'd done When as far as I
knew, I
was just having fun Look, Mummy, no hands I
know how to take good care of myself Look, Mummy, no hands Please don't be a
bore, cause I
know the
score She tried to warn me But I
didn't head her I
was grown up And I
didn't need her How careless we are when we're young Remember the
daughter And all that you taught her She's grown up at last With a
child of her own She struggles alone As the
years all rush pass But now you're not there to answer her call You're not there to catch her when she stumbles and falls Look, Mummy, no hands I'm having to do it all by myself Look, Mummy, no hands I
used to dismiss you, now I
just miss you As my child grows away from me I
feel my heart sinking I
look back and smile And I
find myself thinking How careless we are when we're young
