Patty Griffin - Faithful Son Lyrics
Oh, my god, I cry in fear
Afraid you have forgot me here
Afraid you haven’t gotten long
Your quiet dove and faithful son
When I wanted to run, I stayed
I kept the promises I made
I kept the promises I made
Little children came and grew
Moved away and never knew
Who I was or who I am
Well, they never knew this lonely man
When those mornings came, stiff with rain
With the sleeves of my old raincoat stained
With the salt of my own tears
And I never would tell you then
So I never will tell you now
All the things that break an old man down
The real truth is I don’t know how
Oh, my god, I cry in fear
Afraid you have forgot me here
Afraid you haven’t gotten long
Your quiet dove and faithful son
Who’s seen the loneliest of days
And fought the dirtiest of ways
With the man inside who would have run away
From the promises I made

Only three Words : What a song!
i've been listening this all day long, i cant stop, congrats patty
This song is for an older man, who lived during "interesting times" (as the old curse goes), did what he had to then, came back, continued to do what he had to do, raised kids, and now looks back on his life in his remaining few years. Every word in the lyrics is true to that.
Robert Davidson it’s about her father .
Def seems to be about family!!!!
She's outdone herself on this one..... beautiful.
So awesome!
