Lyrics
My Metal Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It took me years to build your heart
With a myriad of tiny moving parts
But every piece was one piece closer to my goal
Working til the day that you were whole
I wound your key
And you came to be
So much more than just a wind-up toy
My metal boy
You truly are the perfect son
And I'm just so proud of everything you've done
With far too many qualities I could extol
It's obvious that you have made me whole
I can't believe
That you're here with me
This child who has brought me so much joy
My metal boy
With your childish grin
And your curious eyes
Everything is so new
And the world's a surprise
Wondering about life
And the things that you see
What exactly you are
And why you're different from me
Where you fit in this world
And why do men have to die
I won't always be here
But I'm sure gonna try
To do everything I can to prepare you
I should have known this day would come
When you'd be ready to go on your own
You packed your little bag with oil and a light
And said farewell to me and hugged me tight
And goodness knows
I hate to see you go
I know you'll do well
And my heart will swell
But if you're in need
Please come back to me
Your company I always will enjoy
My metal boy
