Lyrics
Mother if I can't see you
Does that mean you can't see me
Just like hide and seek
You'll never find me
Running and running
As fast as I can
Ashes to Ashes
We all fall down in the end
Mother if I can't save you
Does that mean you can't save me
Catch me if you can
Cause this bough is breaking
And you said I could do
Anything If I try
If I jump out this window
Do you think I could fly
Up above the world so high
There is a place
Silent and sweet
Nobody cries
And nobody screams
And no child has to rock themselves to sleep
Merrily merrily life is but a dream
Mother if I can't see you
Does that mean you can't see me
You've so many faces
Which one am I seeing
And where are all the king's horses
And all the king's men
When you just need someone
To put you back together again
There is a place
Silent and sweet
Nobody cries
And nobody screams
And no child has to rock themselves to sleep
Merrily merrily life is but a dream
Take the key and lock her up
My fair lady
Mother if I can't see you
Does that mean you can't see me
Just like hide and seek
You'll never find me
Running and running
As fast as I can
Ashes to Ashes
We all fall down in the end
