My little Man

It's not here at all

I cannot recall

the game I played when I was young

without your little face

to put me back into place

I played good

but I can't believe that I won.

The weight of my stare

I cannot repair

as I watch you grab for the light.

Let your innocence rain

for one last refrain

before I kiss your face goodnight.

Old Mr. Crow

tell me what you know

when to steal and when to dive,

one day my little man

won't fit in my hands.

Take the slack that I've left behind,

I can't say I planned it

I flew forever just to land it

my religious devotion

I can't pretend to understand it everybody was a notion

but someday you will know who I am

my little man.

Death says hello

are you ready to go,

I was ready at 21

but the truth is too old and I know too much

I can't go yet without my son.

My little man

I love you so much.

I'm gonna let you sleep tonight

but I want you to know

every time that I go

that it's me on the end of the knife.

I can't say I planned it

I flew forever just to land it,

my religious devotion

I can't pretend to understand it, everybody has a notion,

but someday you will know who I am

my little man
