I Walk With You, Mama Songtext
von Anne Sofie von Otter

I walk with you, mama
The path along the river
We feed the swans, we say hello to people that we meet
I talk with you, mama
And I listen, and I hear you say
"I′m sorry that I left you on your own this way"

I walk with you, mama
The park in autumn colors
The sadness in the air, as oak and maples shed their leaves
I talk with you, mama
And I listen, and I hear you say
"I'm sorry that I left you on your own this way"


Yes you should have stayed a bit longer
Giving me some more of your time
Couldn′t even wait to say goodbye
How could you be in such a frightful hurry
Leaving me with so many questions
Having so much more love to give
In a way have come to terms I know now
Although it seems everywhere that I go now

I walk with you, mama
A road that knows a journey
Retracing every footsteps every sunday in the park
I talk with you, mama
And I listen, and I hear you say
"I'm sorry that I left you on your own this way"
