Born into a mystery, fragile and forlorn Everything's new to me, no worries no scorn Just a helpless dependant, kept so safe and warm By the arms of a parent, protected from harm How I hated those schooldays and how they could burn Your wisdom brought new ways, life's lessons to learn And if I felt troubled you'd reach out your band Even if they were doubled they'd simply be banned You're the path that I follow You're the soul I adore I would beg steal or borrow To be with you once more Youth brought excitement, so free and so wild But you knew what that meant Through the eyes of this child So you followed my journey, out into the world Felt proud that you knew me as my life unfurled But now in the twilight, it's all come to an end And I've lost that bright light on which I depend The one I relied on has now slipped away And knowing that you're gone still haunts me today
