Simon Was

Simon was a real hard worker No tougher job than to love his own mother Although she did try, she tried to love him So finally he said "Enough, I'm leaving, The world is full of arms just dying to receive me Au Revoir from you I'll be closer, closer to them" She cried don't go away, son don't go away You know son I will change Son you know I can change, Me and Simon we were friends so early We were young but together we were sturdy enough To brave the world all on our own We traveled off to faraway places We kept on moving till we found one worth staying It was there that we fashioned our own little home Well, we got away Boy we got away You know our lives will change At least for us, life was changed But no one is gone But no one is gone, "It's been amazing but I think I'm leaving, " I said to Simon with my stomach heaving As his eyes moved from a chair and then down to the floor He asked me what exactly was my reason Said I didn't know, but I sure don't believe in this life here, I mean it's perfect, but it isn't real, He cried don't go away, oh don't go away You know your mind will change Boy your mind will change, We drank coffee as we sat in silence My bag beside me and my ticket to the airline in my pocket Felt as heavy as a gun As I stood up I thought "I wonder if I'll see him, This is exactly what you knew you'd have to deal with So just, keep on walking or better yet run, " I thought, don't go away Boy don't go away You know your mind will change Be strong, don't let your mind change But no one is gone But no one is gone,
