Faithful Son Lyrics - American Kid - Patty Griffin

Oh, my god, I cry in fear 

Afraid you have forgot me here 

Afraid you haven't gotten long 

Your quiet dove and faithful son 

I went to work, I worked all day 

When I wanted to run, I stayed 

I kept the promises I made 

I kept the promises I made 

Little children came and grew 

Moved away and never knew 

Who I was or who I am 

Well, they never knew this lonely man

When those mornings came, stiff with rain 

I thought the sun would never shine again 

With the sleeves of my old raincoat stained 

With the salt of my own tears 

And I never would tell you then 

So I never will tell you now 

All the things that break an old man down 

The real truth is I don't know how 

Oh, my god, I cry in fear 

Afraid you have forgot me here 

Afraid you haven't gotten long 

Your quiet dove and faithful son 

Who's seen the loneliest of days 

And fought the dirtiest of ways 

With the man inside who would have run away 

From the promises I made
