When my heart was yours to play with
And I am young as yesterday
Yesterday, tomorrow and today
Mother can you carry me
No, I have nothing by my sorrow
Show me how to fly high
Clear across the sky
Now I am wise as tomorrow
Mother can you carry me
Mother can you carry me
Mother can you carry me
Even then you went away
Clear across the sky
Though your's was never mine
Even then you had no time
When I could share my brothers sorrow
And when I was there to lay with
