I Hope It Doesn't Rain When I See You Today

lyrics

I hope it doesn't rain when I see you today
is there a sun around that has something to say
everything has changed so suddenly
yet I find you under what looks like that same old tree
in the same old place I'd find you back home
where I'd go on grey mornings to see you alone
still am learning what the morning's like here
at least I'm not lonely with you again near

All the gems and roses and trinkets of tin
still on your stone bedrest where you lie within
I am told you're sleeping, are you almost awake?
I hope you read my letters and enjoyed the last slice of my last birthday cake
and the drawings I've made
of what I hope you look like
when you're awake
are you scared like I am
of where we've come to stay?
I don't think you would be cause
you've never run away

I wish that I could see you
smile once at me
hug me very tight and say
how much you love me
I believe you think it
as you lay resting
that's what a mother would
always be doing, I think.
