Mother, my queen
Stands in a window lit empty room
her boy is leaving soon
Mother, my queen
Pulls down the shades, an empty room
Her boy is leaving soon

And everywhere she looks
There's nothing there
Smelling all the clothes
He used to wear

Mother, my queen
Sits on the stairway and cries alone
Her boy is leaving her

And father's far away
Seems much farther now
A head filled with her heart
Hanging towards the ground

Mother, wipe your eyes
Mother, dry your eyes

Mother, my queen
I have to leave today
(Mother you will be okay)
Mother, my queen
I have to leave today
(Mother you will be okay)
Mother, I'll be okay
(Mother you will be okay)
Mother, you'll be okay
