I don’t know you now
I haven’t for a while
I’ve grieved your loss
Not helped by time

Those big warm hugs
The widest warm smile
Precious memories
Of when all was fine

Sometimes I see you
The old you
My mam
In the blink of an eye
you’re gone

I want to call you
Tell you about my day
But I can’t
I’m sorry
You’re not there anyway

If tomorrow comes along
And your vices abate
Call me one more time
By the phone I will wait:

Call me when you're high
Call me when you're low
Call me when you don't know where to go

Call me in the day
And call me in the night
Please just call me
Don't give up this fight

I don’t blame you though
I couldn’t, I won't dare
I blame the system, the doctors
And Dad’s affair

Your anger is love
And fear and shame
I know now my anger is exactly the same

I’ve tried to help you
But have I done enough?
I just don’t know
It’s all too much

Just know that I love you
I have, I always will.
You’re there, somewhere, somehow
I’ll find you, I will.

If tomorrow comes along
And your vices abate
Call me one more time
By the phone I will wait:

Call me when you're high
Call me when you're low
Call me when you don't know where to go

Call me in the day
And call me in the night
Please just call me
Don't give up this fight

I try not to feel
but when I do it's so hard
A jagged knife
Opening old battle scars

The grief that I bury
Is not in vein
This silence is an armour
To block out the pain

Laughter lacks a punchline
These days it's true
What I'd give
For a brief moment of you

If tomorrow comes along
And your vices abate
Call me one more time
By the phone I will wait:

Call me when you're high
Call me when you're low
Call me when you don't know where to go

Call me in the day
And call me in the night
Please just call me
Don't give up this fight
