I sat on a park bench, With her hair in my eyes. The smiles of love as they softly hug. [Verse 1] I didn't want to die, Mama Didn't want the dark to take me Felt your hand slip from mine, Mama While the night just kept on breaking [Pre-Chorus] But you'll live, lad You'll live, they said Cold voice in the shadows Words like lead [Chorus] You're my loved one My fun one My light in the morning rain Mama… I don't want to go Mama… I don't want to go Mama… I don't want to die……………… [Verse 2] Stop right there! The door slammed wide Just get in the van, boy No more time to hide Eyes full of terror Heartbeat like a drum Mama, I'm so sorry I can't outrun [Chorus] You're my loved one My fun one The only home I've known Mama… I don't want to go Mama… I don't want to go Mama… I don't want to die……………… [Bridge / Outro] Mama… can you hear me? I'm pressed to the floor no way to the door. Your screams and tears fade into the setting sun I said your name till my throat went raw I said it till the end. Mama, if you hear anything let it be this I didn't want to leave I didn't want to die I didn't want to die Mama… Mama… Mama…
