Mother, I'm tired Come surrender my son Time has ravaged on my soul No plans to leave, but still I go Fallin' with the leaves Fallin' out of sleep To the last goodbyes Who cares why? Mother, I've tried Wasting my life I haven't given up, I lie To make you so proud in my eyes Fallin' out of sleep Crawlin' over me To the last goodbyes Who cares why? Tuesday's come and gone Restless, still I drive Try to leave it all behind Fallin', fallin' out of sleep Fallin', fallin' with the leaves I go crawlin', crawlin' over me Once upon a time in my life Once upon a time in my life Once upon a time in my life Once upon a time in my life I went falling I went falling Mother, I hope you know That I miss you so Time has ravaged on my soul To wipe a mother's tears grown cold
