Lyrics
Blue Skies turn to gray
And lullabies fade away
As life comes storming through the castle gates
Changing our lives and revealing our fate
Now all the words we had to say
The things we?ve done along the way
Are all we have to see us through
There?s nothing else to do, but
Tell my boy that I miss him so
Though I know that he had to go
Tell him that I?ll still be here
If he needs me near, if he needs to hear
me tell my boy that I love him so
Lines are drawn; lines are crossed
Wars are waged and battles lost
Through shifting winds and through changing tides
We hold our breath and we close our eyes
It?s the struggle of the heart
The struggle that tore us apart
But we?ll struggle ?till the end
to get it back again, so
Tell my boy that I miss him so
Though I know that he had to go
Tell him that I?ll still be here
If he needs me near, if he needs to hear
me tell my boy that I love him so
Still everyday I see you stand
(A shadow of a long lost friend)
With that new coat you call your own
(You turn your back to all you?ve known)
But that coat?s threads are old and worn
(You?re not the first to try it on)
It doesn?t fit, don?t fit on you
That?s how that coat fit me too
So tell my boy that I miss him so
Though I know that he had to go
Tell him that I?ll still be here
If he needs me near, if he needs to hear
me tell my boy that I love him so
Winding roads and dead end paths
Feels like going nowhere fast
Strange new voices whisper in your ear
They lead you on and then they disappear
Boy, I?d take you if I could
Every step, you know I would
I see your steps walking away
I pray they?ll be back some day, so
Tell my boy that I miss him so
Though I know that he had to go
Tell him that I?ll still be here
If he needs me near, if he needs to hear
me tell my boy that I love him so
Blue Skies turn to gray
And lullabies fade away
