The National - Son lyrics

And if you follow me, son The wind'll wrap around you Carry you from the ground You will never be alone Your weight will turn to sunlight That's falling on a girl You're still inside the world She's reading books from empty women They're giving beauty tips from empty hips [chorus] And how is the water of the rain And how is the air of the wind And how are the arms of your mother She's holding you in Watch them as they try to fly their kites inside their bedrooms That were only built for drinking Your thoughts, they never lasted long when you were under the sky Above it you can hold a thought forever [chorus] x2 She's holding you in She's holding you in Hey, hey, hey, hey...
