When You Leave

I lost all faith in reason

When no reason took a love from me

So I'll ask you my friend

If the stories were pretend

You say, "I love you and I always will"

You invented a brand new plan for the seasons

How to turn those leaves of fall green

But death you know it comes and goes

Ain't a friend or a foe as long as you know

I love you and I always will

But when you leave, I lose control

And I hate to have to even lose control

When you leave, I lose control

And I'd hate to have to leave and lose control

It's alright, Ma

Christmas eve in the back

Of a church with a demon

She turns and says to me

"All is well, you never fell

Don't kiss and tell I swear to hell

I love you and I always will"

But when you leave, I lose control

And I hate to have to even lose control

When you leave, I lose control

And I'd hate to have to leave and lose control

It's alright, Ma

In a thousand years from now

When they find Jesus

In a monument of Elvis Presley

I'll ask you in the end

If the stories were pretend

"I love you, I always will"

But when you leave, I lose control

And I hate to have to even lose control

When you leave, I lose control

And I'd hate to have to leave and lose control

It's alright, Ma

But when you leave, I lose control

And I hate to have to even lose control

When you leave, I lose control

And I'd hate to have to leave and lose control

It's alright, Ma
