Father, Mother, Son
Words and lyrics by The Scream
>From the Album "Let It Scream" 1991
NOTE: Key of G, tune down one half step.
Father, thanks for playing with my friends and me.
...
I'm glad they got to meet the man I know.
You always knew the words and taught me honesty.
Picked me up when I was feeling low.
If I could talk to you just one more time,
I know you'ld work things out just like before.
Where did I go wrong? Can you hear me sing this song?
Father I won't see you anymore.
Mother, dry your eyes why do you cry those tears.
You knew someday your baby'd be a man.
Letting go is hard when it's forever dear.
I know it's late but now I understand.
If I could hold you hand just one more time,
and hear your lullabies just like before.
I know that I did wrong, so I'm singing you this song.
Mother, I won't see you anymore.
Son, I wish you knew how much we're missing you.
I saw them cry their tears from up above.
I try to tell them, but the words aren't getting through,
I didn't mean to hurt the ones I love.
Mother, Father I hope to see you soon,
and things will be just like they were before.
I'm sending all my love, I'm watching from above...
and I'll be in your dreams for evermore.
