Retake Care of You
Son something's gnawing from the north and south I feel it pierce my skin
Something’s brewing from the west side I have no places now left to hide
Something's rising from the east side I need to fix my whittled pride I need to prove I’m better.
Son please be there on your best side I need to be there on the beside
you.
Son I say this to you now as tomorrow I could die
To bring you up proper, I really really tried
My scornful scathing selfishness left my mark, you wear its toll
So loving and such trusting eyes that petrified my soul.
Defenseless to a crack when playing you were only
Low my eyes in shame I’ve made you think so lonely.
Son please be there on your best side I need to be there on the beside
you.
Son, young and stupid I stole that claim
All the while you played with humour just to try and ease your pain
My twisted ways of motherhoodlum held you up and still it makes you pay
Much more that only you will know, only you will never say.
Son I am sorry and so sorrowful I searches to retake care of you
I yearn for your belief in me I wish for you to know
Son I longs to retake care of you
You know my love can cut through bone.
Son please be there on your best side I need to be there on the beside
you.
