I could never find the right way to tell you
Have you noticed I've been gone
Because I left behind the home that you made me
But I will carry it along

And it's a long way forward so trust in me
I'll give them shelter like you've done for me
And I know I'm not alone
You'll be watching over us
Until you're gone

When I'm older I'll be silent beside you
I know words won't be enough
And they won't need to know our names or our faces
But they will carry on for us

Oh it's a long way forward, long way down
Helpless shelter in the open ground
And she knows, believes (and I know, believe)
Her love can make him better (my love can make you better)
Let us pretend it doesn't matter

And it's a long way forward, trust in me
I'll give them shelter like you've done for me
And I know I'm not alone
You'll be watching over us
Until
