Lyrics
My Son
© 2008 Lisa Venkatrathnam and Keith Stacey Rowe
My son, my son, my son
I’m not ready for what’s to come
My son, my son, my son
Your pain is mine, my son
You drank my love as a helpless babe
Now I stand helpless as you walk away
We should be eating
Instead of grieving
You clung to me as a child in my bed
Must I now sleep with your memory instead?
I long to hold you
Do I still know you?
Time is a gallows for hearts that know too much
Time is a sad song for a mother’s love
As you surrender
Will you remember…me?
