This is a song for a son This is a song for a sailor The best I never had This is a song for a kid This is the song for a tailor Who stitched up my old heart Who stitched up my old heart
And I am one of many, many more to come, many more to come And I am one of many, many more to come, many more to come
This is a song for dove This is a song for a blown up bird The kind that don't return to the nest This is a song for a star This is a song for a space invader Who flew into the sun Never to return Never to return
And I am one of many, many more to come, many more to come And I am one of many, many more to come, many more to come
This is a song for a son This is a song for a sailor The son I never had He sailed without map This is a song for a kid This is the song for a tailor Who stitched up my old heart Before I broke it all apart
And I am one of many, many more to come, many more to come And I am one of many, many more to come, many more to come
You daughters of the revolution Carry back your sons Carry them back home You daughters of the revolution Carry back your sons Carry them back home
This is a song for a son This is a song for a sailor The best I ever had He sailed without map
