I'm just saying I want my mummy back
Lost her to the drink but her soul's intact
Mama said to me, Be proud of who you are
She saw Jesus in the eyes of a broken manSail away, I am learning my lesson
Mama sends her love and Godspeed you come homeOne little white lie was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell and wished her the best for life
Then I stole away
Like a thief in the nightI'm just saying, not behind daddy's back
He takes care of her in his overtime
He's no saint I know as he goes around the town
Watch him cry himself to sleep, he's my daddySail away, I will go off it alone now
Leave my past behind to seek fortune and fameOne little white lie was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell and wished her the best for life
Then I stole away
Like a thief in the nightSail away, there's a storm in a teacup
Mama sends her love and Godspeed you come homeOne little white lie was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell and wished her the best for life
Then I stole away
Like a thief in the nightOne little white lie was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Like a prodigal son and wished her the best for life
Then I stole away
Like a thief in the night
