Lyrics: I Told You So

I walked out to help my mother
Do her laundry by the creek.
Seems like yesterday.
But I could not find my way
Through the falling rain that day.
There's a storm ahead.
I turned around,
Young but not afraid.

Never should I see my happy home.
Mama told me, that's how it goes.
She told me,
I told you so.

I was walking through the forest
On my way.
I knew it well.
Seems like yesterday.

But fear came creeping down my back.
It's a dark, a scary path.
There's storm ahead.
I turned around,
Young but not afraid.

Never should I see my happy home.
Mama told me, that's how it goes.
She told me, I told you so.

Every time I'm thinking of all the troubles that I'm in.
I wonder how in this whole wide world,
Why do I get these dreams.

I walked out to help my mother.
Do her laundry by the creak.
Seems like yesterday.

But fear came creeping down my back.
It's a dark, a scary path.
There's storm ahead.
I turned around,
Young but not afraid.

Never should I see my happy home.
Mama told me, that's how it goes.
She told me, I told you.

Never should I see my happy home.
Mama told me, that's how it goes.
She told me, I told you so.

Waking up from dreams when I was young,
It seems like yesterday.
Seems like yesterday.
