Evacuee

Each time on my leaving home

I run back to my mother's arms,

One last hold and then it's over.



Watching me, you know I cry,

You wave a kiss to say goodbye,

Feel the sky fall down upon me!



All I am, a child with promises

All I have, are miles full of promises of home.



If only I could stay with you,

My train moves on, you're gone from view,

Now I must wait until it's over.



Days will pass, your words to me,

It seems so long; eternity,

But I must wait until it's over.
