His only son It’s not the dream he had in mind for you You came into this world, a vision of another Time and place, I guess it’s just as well
I couldn’t get on with your old-time religion And there’s no other way to say it, nah baby It’s so weird these feelings my heart can’t abide No…
If you’re feeling sad and lonely Nights sleepless in your bed The breaking of the heart Boy, does it make a sound
My only son If everything just fell apart, would it be worth saving? And is it fair that we can’t know just what you were thinking When you left us here to sit and contemplate the truth
And speaking of that old lost city As it sinks down through the sand Could it break your heart Or would it change your mind?
