Was I ever enough You were my child of dust Didn't watch you grow Was it just too much My child of dust That your family drove you from home Is there comfort when you sleep in the street Does the dirt sing your name as you go to sleep Is there no one that hears when your home is the road And your hold fast is the sound of your feet as they roam
Where will you go (my son) and how will I know when you get there How will you know where to roam when home is all you know
Is it the loneliness that roams that unsettled your bones Is it the loneliness that's rocked you to sleep That drove you far from your mother's reach
When will you come home to once again be your mother's son Don't you know I've fallen short and I pray that one day you will forgive me
Did I give you all that I had Was it just too much Was I ever enough
