This is a song for a son
This is a song for a sailor
The best I never had

This is a song for a kin
This is the song for a tailor
Who stitched up my old heart
Who stitched up my old heart

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 up 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

( Solo )

This is a song for a son
This is a song for a sailor
The son I never had
He sailed without map

This is a song for that kid
This is the song for that tailor
Who stitched up my old heart
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

This is a song for a son
This is a song for a sailor
The best I never had
He sailed without a map
