Song for a Good Son

A summer's day so long ago A thousand boats dancing on the bay I came to you inside a dream We both held hands and fell into the water You never claimed to know me well The dark-eyed son, the privileged man You found me bitter, you thought me cold Well, now I'm gonna make you understand My mother died, my father cried He left me lonely by the waterside Waterside so deep and wide If I follow, maybe I will find her Beyond the salt and spray The current carried her away Beyond the salt and spray The current carried her away I can't outrun my destiny Tell me who will sing a song for me Darkness, darkness cover me By my own hand is the way it has to be My mother died, my father cried You will find me by the waterside Waterside so deep and wide If I follow, maybe I will find her If I follow, maybe I will find her
