[Verse 1]
O my son, it seems years since you leave me
To take up the staff and set out to your journey
When
[Chorus]
When are you coming home
To me, my son?
Through all the wrongs you've done
You're always
[Verse 2]
O my son, when the road has you weary
May all of your sins be as stones leading to me
Through all the wrongs you've done
You're always, you're always my son
You'll always be my son
You're always, you're always my son
Through all the wrongs you've done
The only records I keep are
The days you've been away from home
[Chorus]
[Bridge 1]
I light my lamps, unlocked my doors
Keep watch for you at night
I've set aside my robe and ring
Until my son arrives
[Bridge 2]
What mystery that I, as young
Should spend my fathers lot
To be received by arms wide flung
And greeted as a son
