Ferris wheel turning slownWaving at Mother belownYes, I 'll try my best, Mum, not to let gonnPicture a long summer nightnWatching the comets burn brightnAnd we'd sit for hours bathed in the moonlightnnLet's throw sticks in the parknAnd try teach the dog not to barknAnd I'll try not to be scared, Mum, when it gets darknnOh, river run truenDriftwood I'll follow youn'Til eddies swirl me around deep in the dark bluennNow it's getting time to move onnThey've faded, the stars that once shonenAnd I'll try not to be sad, Mum, when they're all gone
