do you remember when i was ten
the world was so much better then
the grass smelt so much more alive
and at my will (imagionation) the heavens would divide
the tree's would cross there limbs to make a bed
for me to lay my peacefull (innocent) head

one saturday morn i watched the t.v
the last moment that your time was free
you sat next to me and spoke
i laughed at the sill joke
that song is imprinted on my mind
that kind of happiness is hard to find

six years to the day since my cousin died
i miss that day, i was so alive
i cried on your shoulder and you held me tight
dried my eyes and said "It'll be allright"
that was the last time i was in your arms
the last time i fealt safe from harm...

i leave in four days, do you even know?
you won't speek to mum, that just goes to show
how little i mean to you these days
ohh god how i miss the old ways
back when you used to laugh
back when you used to run my bath

i'm all grown up now, can't you see?
but still i'm eighteen going on three
there is only one thing i want from you
not much, something you could easily do
this one last thing, will you let me have?
please...

just hug me dad.
