A Slave, A Son

Jamies Elsewhere

When I continued to run away
What kept me in your hand
Did you ever think your flock would stray,
Or that they wouldn't understand
When they 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
An once there I rest
Never let me go. No,
Never let me go

It was your love that said
"youre no longer a slave,
But a son"
It was your love that said
"youre 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 fire with matches and gasoline
Oh how cruel
And melodramatic are we
For trying to make sense
To make sense of all this
Just don't let me fall back through the clouds
(through the clouds)

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 hand
