about

from the album Copper and Gold

lyrics

my son, my son
how far you have wandered
you brave collector
of shells from the war

and when the lights go down
i shall come down from the clouds
to build you a shelter
at the edge of the sky

a man with roots
though he die
may yet live again
while a wandering man
goes to dust

my son, my son
never trust the police
especially them with unusual eyes
they are not always the good guys

you have been staring at blue jays
on your windowsill
when time is moving faster
that's when it seems to be standing still

my son, my son
when and where did this happen
who paralyzed your limbs
and cut away your heart

Repeat verse
