Jamie's Elsewhere Slave, A Son lyrics

When I continued to run away
What kept me in your hands?
Did you ever think your flock would stray
Or that they wouldn't understand when you said
"Wait here till I return with your brother
That was lost to the ways of the world?"

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

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 fires
With matches and gasoline?
Oh, how cruel and melodramatic are we
For trying to make sense
To make sense of all of this

Just don't let me fall back
Through the grounds

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

Catch me in your arms like the stars
You hold in your hands
