 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Mom, she died like a desert in bloom
Now I feel for her like a missing tooth
She rests between what is far and near
Where I can't see her

Now he's gone, my dad's gone too
I watched until he was an empty room
He rests between how it is and how it seems
Where I can't see him

I am an orphan
Bring them back to me
I will forgive them
Let them love me again

I'm lonely like I've never known
We went as far as love can go
They rest between the edges of my dreams
Where I don't need them

Listen
I hear them

I am an orphan
Bring them back to me
I will forgive them
Let them love me again
