Erasure - Storm In A Teacup Lyrics

I'm just saying I want my mummy back
Lost her to the drink but her soul's intact
Mama said to me, ‽Be proud of who you are”
She saw Jesus in the eyes of a broken man

Sail away, I am learning my lesson
Mama sends her love and Godspeed you come home

One little white lie was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell and wished her the best for life
Then I stole away
Like a thief in the night

I'm just saying, not behind daddy's back
He takes care of her in his overtime
He's no saint I know as he goes around the town
Watch him cry himself to sleep, he's my daddy

Sail away, I will go off it alone now
Leave my past behind to seek fortune and fame

One little white lie was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell and wished her the best for life
Then I stole away
Like a thief in the night

Sail away, there's a storm in a teacup
Mama sends her love and Godspeed you come home

One little white lie was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell and wished her the best for life
Then I stole away
Like a thief in the night

One little white lie was enough to conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Like a prodigal son and wished her the best for life
Then I stole away
Like a thief in the night
