Lyrics

We always think we have so much time Spend forever on the nickel and dime Who knows when you reach the end of the line If I listen close I can hear you whisper Remember baby face kissing Daddy's whisker We'd circle up and sing "Mama-mia come on home" any time we missed her A kangaroo ride in sawdust covered Carhartts after coming home in the pitch dark A promise kept from a worn out worker to a kid with a full heart I'll meet you in my dreams, keep you alive in my memory I'm catching up but you're so far ahead of me I'll make you proud of me I remember getting calls when I was way overdue "Want to make sure that you're breathing, haven't heard from you" It drove me crazy - I could see straight through and I wouldn't say I'm sorry Now I wish for that long belated call to hear that you're still breathing - haven't heard from you at all Did the big one pull you in or did time just get away from a kid with a full heart
