Lyrics

From the albums YEAR OF SUNDAY (1972) and MIDDLE OF THE ROAD (1972) I'm a man who has lived my life alone In seclusion, confusion, I'm dying, all I wanted was a son I would take him on my knee, hold him close to me Provide protection, direction, I'd love him, all I wanted was a son Well I'd take him to the zoo to see the animals And I'd buy him lollipops in Summertime And I'd make him paper airplanes, take him to the movies And give him a quarter when he asked for a dime I'm a man who has dreamed my whole life away The day she left me only kept me From giving something living For the world to remember me
