lyrics

My son, my son, my son
Where have you been?

A hundred hours passed since Wilhelm's wake
Your city still ignites in colored frames
When the last train ambles out of Penrose Place
Your father wanders out there drunk some days
In case you've lost your way in that dark station

And I have seen the rage
It inks the page of diaries
You left behind to find yourself
Well, where are you?
I'm no sage
I'm no sage
But I'm here

Your sister's voice still flutters through the church
The chapel where we laid your brother down
She'll be married there this summer to her boy
He don't treat her right but, oh, she loves him so
Your voice was wild courage to her ways

And I have seen the rage
It inks the page of diaries
You left behind to find yourself
Well, where are you?
You were a family man
We were a family then
