Letter To My Son Lyrics
I found myself at the point where we kissed first
On a rooftop overlooking the East London mosque
They said, they said, they said, they said
"You can't go around breaking young girl's hearts"
I say, I say, I say, I say
Keep it casual, easy ...
And you looked so right in that red dress
Oh how I'd love to be a rock for you
To be anything you could rely on
So I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
But I'll get caught out
So we'll try, we'll try, we'll try, we'll try
But we forget the lines, forget the lines
And you looked so ... in the back of the car
Like you could start a hundred wars
See what trouble we could both cause
By the bedroom door, the kitchen floor
I tried, I tried, I tried
...
To be the father to a son
I tried, I tried, I tried
Forgive me ...
