Each time on my leaving home
I run back to my mother's arms,
one last hold and then it's o - ver.

Watching me, you know I cry,
you wave a kiss to say goodbye,
Feel the sky fall down upon me!

R: All I am, a child with promises
All I have are miles full of promises of home.

If only I could stay with you,
my train moves on, you're gone from view,
Now I must wait until it's o - ver.

R: All I am...

Days will pass, your words to me,
it seems so long; eternity,
but I must wait until it's o - ver.
