Jamie's Elsewhere – A Slave A Son lyrics
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"
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
To make sense of all of this.
When I hear you calling
I swear! I swear! I swear I'll run to you!
Just don't let me fall back through the clouds.
(Through the clouds)
Catch me in your arms
Like the stars you hold in your hand.
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"
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
To make sense of all of this.
When I hear you calling
I swear! I swear! I swear I'll run to you!
Just don't let me fall back through the clouds.
(Through the clouds)
Catch me in your arms
Like the stars you hold in your hand.
