Keep the engine running

Then you were fresh off the umbilical 

Curled up, eyes closed in my arms

You had slept in my arms more than your mother's

My hands would numb and my back would hurt

I had learnt to overcome all I hate

How twenty four years have faded in twenty four hours

I would run to you if you called for your mother

I am your brother, but indistinguishable from either

So now on mother's day, I will wait forever

For a call maybe from the world of nether

No mother should have to bury his son

But here we are with what time has done

I will let you be by yourself little sunshine

And run to you again, at the end of my time
