This is a song for a son 

This is a song for a sailor 

The best I ever had 

This is a song for a kid 

This is a song for a tailor 

Who stitched up my old hearts 

Who stitched up my old hearts 



And I 

I am one of many, many more to come 

Many more to come 

I am one of many, many more to come 

Many more to come 



This is a song for a dove 

This is a song for a blown out bird 

The kind that don't return to the nest 

This is a song for a star 

This is a song for a space invader 

Who flew into the sun 

Never to return 

Never to return 



I am one of many, many more to come 

Many more to come 

I am one of many more, many more to come 

Many more to come 



This is a song for a son 

This is a song for a sailor 

The son I never had 

He sailed without a map 

This is a song for that kid 

This is a song for that tailor 

Who stitched up my old hearts 

Before I broke it all 

All apart 



I am one of many, many more to come 

Many more to come 

I am one of many more, many more to come 

Many more to come 



You daughters of the revolution 

Carry back your sons 

Carry them back home 



You daughters of the revolution 

Carry back your sons home
