My child, my fleeting hour has come There's no mercy for me, no pardon Close my eyes, I know you're overcome And I have failed to guard you Over mountains, through the meadows You travelled far from home By the hand of your father I'm left, abandoned, alone Hear my voice, remember who cradled you
Who loved you and swore to guide you Through the darkest hours of your life Return to me, if only tonight Oh... Hear my voice, remember who cradled you Who loved you and swore to guide you Through the darkest hours of your life Return to me, my child Let us reunite
