Song | Son of the Sea |
Artist | Bill Callahan |
Album | Shepherd in a Sheepskin Vest |
[00:26.567] | The house is full of life |
[00:32.533] | Life is change |
[00:37.685] | Even death is not stable |
[00:46.551] | The house is full of whatever I bring to the table |
[00:55.761] | If there is no supper, the children look to me |
[01:01.982] | Then to the table and then to the sea |
[01:11.771] | A son of a fisherman, like I used to be |
[01:24.112] | I spent many a day staring out at that sea |
[01:36.764] | Water apologizes for sorrow endlessly |
[01:56.398] | And what change will come when our will is done? |
[02:07.385] | I got married to my wife, she's lovely |
[02:18.863] | And I had a son |
[02:24.402] | Giving birth nearly killed me |
[02:32.445] | Some say I died |
[02:38.131] | And all that survived was my lullabies |
[02:50.377] | The panic room is now a nursery |
[02:54.187] | And there’s renovators renovating constantly |
[03:07.490] | In the winter, the water is frank with me |
[03:12.324] | Says, "Son, there is still a fisherman out on that sea |
[03:20.124] | And he's looking for his family |
[03:27.738] | He's looking for his family |
[03:33.049] | He’s looking for the son of the sea |
[03:44.542] | He's looking for the son of the sea" |
