Lyrics
Though you let her down
Though you disappointed her
You don't need to carry
You don't need to bear the burden
What's far from here is not so scary
What's distant is not as frightening
Though you cannot see her
Even if you can't physically see her
You don't have to worry
You don't have to be anxious
She needs your hand though your eyes are blurry
She requires your support despite your unclear vision
She is getting thin
She is becoming frail
You are growing gray and white
You are aging with gray and white hair
And you don't know how to tell her as you say goodnight
You struggle to communicate your feelings as you bid her goodnight
Interstate, poison freeway
Interstate, a toxic freeway
Takes you down the line
Leads you along a certain path
You could go back in time
You have the opportunity to revisit the past
You could hold her close
You can embrace her closely
At night in your slumber
During the night in your dreams
Dream her as a child when you loved her mother
Imagine her as a child when you loved her mother
Now you're in her house
Now you're present in her home
She is smiling in a dress
She's smiling in a dress
She is now a woman
She has grown into a woman, and you are a visitor
You are just a guest
Interstate, poison freeway
Guides you along a certain path
Takes you down the line
You have the chance to revisit the past
You could go back in time
