My Only Son Songtext

von PigPen Theatre Co.

My only son, falter none
As my mind slips away

But I won't forget your name
And I won't forget your face
Little one, my only son

How could a melody
Hummed by a memory
Die quick

So tuned to nothing
It hangs oh so empty
Not thick

How could I lose you
When I don't choose to
Will it bend, or will it mend?
Will it mend, or will it break?

But I won't forget your name
And I won't forget your face
Little one, my only son

With stories ever old
You told them so they never grow faint
They stay as something all together nothing remains

How could I lose you
When I don't choose to
Will it bend, or will it mend?
Will it mend, or will it break?
