Rick Tallis - The Moment To Know lyrics

rate me

Manhattan autumn, a morning like any other

She woke up thinking she’s the luckiest mother

But she feels so helpless when he’s not around

She feels the weakness he’s always kept her from

Said mama I’m off now, I've made you pancakes

I will give you a call on every break

Bent down to kiss her and take a look through her eyes

To read the words she would never let him realize

Don’t go, I need you

In every breath I breathe you

It’s yet to come

The moment to know...

Staring at the tree, outside the window

She was counting the leaves, waiting for the next wind to blow

But out of the blue, there came a strong wind

Shook 'em off of the tree, all the yellows and greens

Glasses were shaking, panic in the streets

Chilled to the bone, she was caught in a bad dream

Emergency sirens filling any gaps of silence

She could hear her words out there but no longer soundless

Don’t go, I need you

In every breath I breathe you

And here it comes…

The moment to know

The moment to know he was flying away

And she will never find the words to pray

The moment to know he will never come home

Manhattan autumn remains forever grey
