We said our goodbyes
And springled them with pretty lies
I'd be forever yours
At least till I was out the door
The world was mine to save
Your dreams sent to the grave

Late September, no rain
Thick smoke seen from the aero plane
With new adventures ahead
I erased you from my bed
You ventured alone
From the deep the darkness shone

Oh, but I am not your possession
Let me go
I am up where I belong
Didn't see misery coming
Am I to blame?
That you didn't mean that much to me?

Isolated alone
You walked into the unknown
And when your mother did call
It hit me like a canon-ball
The worst of my fears
My boy to disappear

Oh, I didn't want that to happen
Should I have known?
These are seeds I haven't sown
Didn't see misery coming
Am I to blame?
Will history put me to shame?

Up above the skies
Here's everything I ever wanted
Don't take it away
Don't listen to what the petty voice says

I remember you face
In your dense and wooden hiding place
Life just took a turn
For you the point of no return
Am I really to blame
That I don't remember you name

Oh, I didn't want that to happen
Should I have known?
These are seeds I haven't sown
Didn't see misery coming
Am I to blame?
Will history put me to shame?"
