Father: We heard no sighs, no signs of distress Even as a child he was always caressed
Why should you blame yourself? I had paid all of my debts, With my own tired hands I was there building a nest
This child fed on your sores (All is gone) Still you love him so (On and on) Onward he will go (Our son is gone) Leaving you alone This ungrateful son of yours
Dim the lights in the window Gone are the days we were home At least we’re together For all that I care he could never return
This child fed on your sores (All is gone) Still you love him so (On and on) Onward he will go (Our son is gone) Leaving you alone This ungrateful son of yours
