Mother said, don't leave me
   There are monsters at the door
   I put on all my armour
   But I couldn't find my sword
   But there'll always be tomorrow
   Just you wait and see
   If they come to take you prisoner
   I'll be there to set you free
  
   Mother said, I'm grown up
   In a Sunday shirt and tie
   As long as I can see you
   Can I hold you when I cry
   There'll always be tomorrow
   I'll be so big and strong
   I'll sleep with all the lights out
   Not afraid of anyone
  
   I need you to stay
   I need you to stay
   I need you
   I need you
  
   Mother said she's sleeping
   So I climbed back into bed
   But the monsters took her prisoner
   That's all that father said
   So I thought about tomorrow
   And I learned to be alone
   Making friends with shadows
   As they moved around my home
  
   Mother never leaves me
   I can always see her smile
  
   I sit here in the evening
   To talk to her awhile
   There'll always be tomorrow
   Just you wait and see
   I know that any moment
   She will come to set me free
  
   I need you to stay
   I need you to stay
   I need you
   I need you
  
   I need you to stay
   I need you to stay
   I need you
   I need you
