about

A heartbroken mother mourning over her son who 'grows wings' and 'flies away.'

lyrics

1.  
My baby boy grows wings, going to fly away. 
Why doesn't he stay? 
This old mother's something, going to rot away.
 But she still loves..  

2. (Chorus)  
Howard! Howard! 
Where the hell are you?  Your mum is so worried about you.
Loves you! 
No one can love you as much as I love you. 

My Howard! My baby! 
Have you ever thought and have you ever cared about me? 
My Howard! 
Have you ever known and have you ever guessed that it hurts?   

3.  
My life falls and falters, after he left me. 
Why should birds be free? 
Forget the nests, the worms, and even the trees. 
But I still love..   

(Chorus)

4.
 Can a mother be too old to be useful to a son?
Am I to die alone?  

5.
 Howard! Howard! 
There's no place like home.
 There's no one like your mother, who loves you. 
Loves you.  Loves .. Loves you!
