Put my coat in the closet,

sit on the edge of your bed

you don't look like your pictures anymore

you don't look quite the same

and I don't wanna stay long, really can't stay

life awaits me



Your mother says you're doing better

doesn't look that way to me

she says you've come so far so fast

sure don't look that way to me

and I don't wanna stay long,

wish that I could stay

but life awaits me



and I can't wait for you



and our fathers have changed

and our mothers have changed

and our people have changed

and our seasons have changed

but you have not changed

and I don't know if you will ever change



Linda says she loves you,

she sends her best

along with all the rest

Bobby says he loves you,

he can't take this test

and I don't wanna stay long,

don't think I can stay

life awaits me



and I can't wait for you I can't wait



and our fathers have changed

and our mothers have changed

and our people have changed

and our seasons have changed

and my god has changed

and the seasons have changed

but you have not changed



Get my coat from the closet be back when I can
