Song for a Son

This is a song for a son
This is a song for a sailor
The son I never had

This is a song for a kid
This is the song for a tailor
Who stitched up my old heart
Who stitched up my old heart

This is a song for dove
This is a song for a blown up bird
The kind that don't return to the nest

This is a song for a star
This is a song for a space invader
Who flew into the sun
Never to return, never to return

And I am one of many
Many more to come, many more to come
And I am one of many more
Many more to come, many more to come

This is a song for a son
This is a song for a sailor
The best I ever had
He sailed without map

This is a song for a kid
This is the song for a tailor
Who stitched up my old heart
Who stitched up my old heart
Before I broke it all apart

And I am one of many
Many more to come, many more to come
And I am one of many more
Many more to come, many more to come

You daughters of the revolution
Carry back your sons
Carry them back home

You daughters of the revolution
Carry back your sons
Carry them back home

And I am one of many
Many more to come
