Thank You, Mum

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rain on the windows, your coat round my shoulders, You checked every book and the lunch I would take. You waited up late till I walked through the doorway, And knew I was hurting when I said I was fine. [Chorus] Thank you, Mum, for the safe place you gave me, For holding us close when the hard days came through. Wherever I wander, whatever years change me, Home will be home when I'm coming back to you. Thank you, Mum; I love you. [Verse 2] Tea in the kitchen, Sunday dinner, Laughing at jokes no one else would understand. “Just let me know when you get home safely”— Your words still travel with me wherever I am. [Chorus] Thank you, Mum, for the safe place you gave me, For holding us close when the hard days came through. Wherever I wander, whatever years change me, Home will be home when I'm coming back to you. Thank you, Mum; I love you. [Bridge] I took so much for granted when I was younger, Now life's busy and the miles keep us apart. You put us first and asked for nothing, And I carry a piece of you in all I am. [Final Chorus] Thank you, Mum, for the safe place you gave me, For keeping us together when the hard days came through. However grown I get, wherever life takes me, Home will be home, and my heart will come back to you. Thank you, Mum; I love you. Thank you, Mum; I love you.
