I wish for a shade I can pull
I feel so afraid of watching you grow up
And I try and build a wall
So I don't have to see you fall
Go away from my thoughts!
Why do you keep coming back
Oh, I'd love to hold you close
And keep my thoughts in a jar
And everyone says, "Never fear -
All boys his age experiment with their lives"
But my eyes want to close you out
Why do you keep coming back
Brother Black Sheep, love is strong
There's a shepherd out in every storm
And he's not afraid of a little rain
Why do I keep building up
Do you really know how much
