Lucy Kaplansky My Father's Son
I'm an old man, my time has come
Never had much years for anyone
About to close the door, get the music on
Been that way since I was young
I turn the radio up and sing along
Burning whirlwind and I never wore some
Left my town and away in the world
Harvard banned that music girl
Do you remember?
Remember Steve?
Do you remember?
Yes, I do, I will
Got Radcliff wife who had a son
And I kept to myself, kept the radio on
My boy left when he could, took off on his own
Never looked back, he's his father's son
50 years later my boy's back home
We sit together with the radio on
I can hardly hear, mostly gone
Music's in my head, I sing along
Do you remember?
Remember Steve?
Remember?
Yes, I do, I will
He holds my hand, stays by the bed
Same things never have been said
I'm my father's son, he is mine
Hope it's not too late for me and him this time
This time.
Do you remember?
Remember Steve?
Remember?
Yes, I do, I will
Remember Steve?
Remember?
Yes, I do, I will
