She´s gone
And it´s quiet now
Took her mother with her
Left town
Took her mother´s eye

Stole her mother´s heart
It´s a compromise
We nurture that part and she´s gone
Says she can walk now
Says she can walk now
Thinks she can walk
Seen her walking
She totters and falls
And when I´m not looking
Leans onto the wall
And she´ll hold on to me only when she wants
And she´ll fall and be up again
It´s part of the fun
But she´s gone
Thinks she can walk now
Thinks she can walk now
Thinks she can walk

She´s gone
And it´s quiet now
Took her mother with her
Left town
Took her mother´s eye
Stole her mother´s heart
It´s a compromise

We nurture that part and she´s gone
And it´s quiet now
Took her mother with her
Left town
