Only Son

[Verse 1]

All these babies are born

To the wrong kind of people

And I wish I had known

I was not good enough

[Verse 2]

I'm the worst kind of son

Bringing shame to my family

And I know I have worn

My mother's heart out, believe me

I saw it

I saw it coming

[Verse 3]

All these things I have done

To my little, little sister

When I try to support her

She don't believe me —why should she?

I hurt her

I mean I hurt her

[Chorus]

So goodbye

So long

I'm gone already

I'm running out of time

I'm losing my mind

Won't you come take me home?

Goodbye

So long

I'm gone already

I'm running out of time

I'm losing my mind

Won't somebody hold me?

[Verse 4]

All these babies are born

Like a field full of poppies

Who's gonna know which are torn?

I believe I'll soon leave the meadow

I see my shadow

[Chorus]

So goodbye

So long

I'm gone already

I'm running out of time

I'm losing my mind

Won't you come take me home?

So goodbye

So long

I'm gone already

I'm running out of time

I'm losing my mind

I think I'm losing my soul
