Testo Faithful Son

Testo Faithful Son

Oh my god, crying your fear,
Afraid you have forgotten me here.
Afraid you have forgotten one
The quiet doll and faithful son.

Went to war, I worked all day,
But I want it to run astay
I kept the promises I made,
I kept the promises I made.

Little children came and grew,
Moved away and never knew
Who I was or who I am
No, they never knew just who I am.

When those mornings came stiffed with rain
I thought the sun will never shine again
With the sleeze in my old rain coat stain
With the salt of my own tears

And I never would tell you then
So I never will tell you now
All the things that break an old man down
The real thing is I don't know how.

Oh my god, I cry your fear,
Afraid you have forgotten me here
Afraid you have forgotten one
A quiet doll and faithful son.

I seen a lonely yesterday
And fought the dirty that still wakes
The men inside would've run away
From the promises I made.
