Album: American Kid
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.
