Faithful Son

Intro: Oh my god, I cry in fear Afraid you have forgot me here Afraid you have forgotten one Your quiet, dull and faithful son I went to work, I worked all day When I wanted to run, I stayed 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 Well, they never knew this lonely man And those mornings came stiff with rain I thought the sun would never shine again With the sleeves of my old raincoat Stained 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 truth is, I don't know how Oh my god, I cry in fear Afraid you have forgot me here Afraid you have forgotten one Your quiet, dull and faithful son Who's seen the loneliest of days And fought the dirtiest of ways With the man inside who would have run away From the promises I made End on
