Only Son

All these babies are born

To the wrong kind of people

And I wish I had known

I was not good enough

I'm the worst kind of son

Bringing shame to my family

And I know I have worn

My mother's heart out, believe me

I saw it

I saw it coming



All these things I have done

To my little little sister

When I try to support her

She don't believe

Shy should she?

I hurt her

I mean I hurt her



So goodbye, so long, I'm gone already

I'm running out of time

I'm losing my mind]

Won't you come take me home?

Won't somebody hold me?



All these babies are born

Like a field full of poppies

Who's gonna know which are torn?

I believe I'll soon leave the meadow

I see my shadow



I think I'm losing my soul...
