lyrics

Mother
Are you feeling better
Did the air betray your lungs
Or the other way around?
For five long days my body had a fever
Time stood still like a black hole in my mind
But I've been waiting in the wings
Watching over everything
But it's not safe here so I'll pack my things
And I'll be living in a pocket behind the sun
Living in a pocket behind the sun

Father, I'm sorry about your brother
The world won't be the same with Johnny not around
I've been thinking there must be something better
A place where we can go where trouble stays behind

But I've been waiting in the wings
Watching over everything
But it's not safe here so I'll pack my things
And I'll be living in a pocket behind the sun
Living in a pocket behind the sun

Here I am living in a pocket behind the sun
The air is clean, the water is warm and sadness doesn't come
You can come and bring your things there's room for all of us
The war's been won
We're all up here in the pocket behind the sun
