Lyrics A Slave, A Son - Jamie's Elsewhere

A Slave, A Son

When I continued to run away
What kept me in your hand?
Did you ever think your flock would stray
Or that they wouldn’t understand?
When you said
«Wait here, 'til I return with your brother
That was lost to the ways of the world»
Catch me in your arms
Like stars in the eyes of telescopes,
And once there I rest,
Never let me go.
no,
Never let me go It was your love that said
«You're no longer a slave, but a son»
It was your love that said «You're no longer a slave
but a son, but a son»
Catch me in your arms
like stars in the eyes of telescopes
And once there I rest
Never let me go No, never let me go What could I learn
by fighting the fire with matches and gasoline?
Oh how cruel and melodramatic are we for trying to make sense of all of this?
When I hear you calling I swear,
I swear I’ll run to you
Just don’t let me fall back through the clouds Catch me in your arms
like the stars you hold in your hand
