I know that it's not healthy to think of you this way. And hunger for your love from day to day. For the love you gave was never meant to bring me any sorrow.

Well I wonder how the old folks are at home. I wonder if they'll miss me when I'm gone. I wonder if they'll pray for the boy who went away. And left his dear old parents so alone.
