I'm writing you to let you know
How things are at home
You taught me things I'll always know
But I'm still a lost soul

Mother, don't forget your son
The hardest part of waking up is knowing you're gone

There's one thing that you should know
You were right about it all
He's waiting. You're fading fast
There's only whiskey for the gaul

Mother, don't forget your son
The hardest part of waking up is knowing you're gone
It's seeping through. I'm breaking out, but not without you
Nothing's right anymore
The day has grown long

Don't be scared. Just move on toward the light
Even angels need to sleep sometime

I'm keeping the beat of your heart (go on! Go on!)
I'm trying to let it go (just fly away! Fly away home!)

Mother, don't forget your son (just fly away! Fly away home!)
The hardest part of waking up is knowing you're gone. (just fly away! Fly away home!)
It's seeping through! F'm breaking out, but not without you. (just fly away! fly away home!)
Nothing's right anymore
The day has grown long
Fly away home
