Lyrics Air Supply – Mother Said

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

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
