lost son

oh son

we've been waiting

for you and your love to come

these shady lanes have been numb

ever since you left town

days just holes

for the sun to go down

oh son

we have grown apart

you'll see the loneliness in our hearts

in this house of ghosts

the silent days

the bees buzzing in the sun

we've lived our lives

like friends on opposite sides

i guess we only understood

what you didn't want to be

i guess we never understood

why you didn't want to be

like him and me

oh son

we've been yearning

for this hot summer day to come

sit side by side

in these old leather chairs

pretend you never left

pretend you never really left
