Son

Wind blows through my hair

Here we stand at the edge of day

As the quiet murmur echoes through the air

I kneel to see you from eye to eye

Never had the time

Nor the will to say

And now it's too late

Son, look at the skies

It's on flames tonight

This is a moment to recall

When it's your time to fall

Son, look at the mirror

Of dark and serene waters

Now sleep my Son

You long to my deepest thoughts

As you watch me breathe with wetty eyes

I find it hard to open my mouth

Now when all the words were left unsaid

It's too late for apologies, Son

But it's never too late to reach the sun

You have years ahead, days to live through

It's my time to go now: Son, farewell

Never had the time

Nor the will to say

And now it's too late

Son, look at the skies

It's on flames tonight

This is a moment to recall

When it's your time to fall

Son, look at the mirror

Of dark and serene waters

Now sleep my Son
