Oh, whoa

Oh, whoa

Oh, whoa, whoa

You're not heavy

I rocked you to sleep, I hold you for hours long

Never heavy

I won't let you weep

Hush, my child, you're mine

All my life, I try

Oh, you were never heavy, light just like a feather

I ran from the terror, the ground was red from the led

You were never scary, I knew you were special

My only intention, alone, I left to the west

Then moved to the city, eight months, we were pregnant

You came out so precious, in the snow, you would grow

Your mama loves you, you'll never be alone

Hush, my child, you're mine (I know, I know, I know, hey)

All my life, I try (Sorry, mama, sorry, mama, whoa, whoa)

To keep you warm, if I go (If I go, I'll be so good without you, mama, I just won't grow without you, whoa)

You're still my child, don't cry

Death is nothing at all, it does not count

I only slipped away into the next room

Nothing has happened

Everything remains exactly how it was

I am I and you are you

And the old life that we had so fondly together is untouched, unchanged

Whatever we were to each other, that we are still

Call me by the old, familiar name
