GENESIS - No Son Of Mine lyrics

rate me

Well the key to my survival<br>Was never in much doubt<br>The question was how I could keep sane<br>Trying to find a way out<br><br>Things were never easy for me<br>Peace of mind was hard to fin<br>And I needed a place where I could hide<br>Somewhere I could call mine<br><br>I didn't think much about it<br>Til it started happening all the time<br>Soon I was living with the fear everyday<br>Of what might happen that night<br><br>I couldn't stand to hear the<br>Crying of my mother<br>And I remember when<br>I swore that, that would be the<br>Last they'd see of me<br>And I never went home again<br><br>They say that time is a healer<br>And now my wounds are not the same<br>I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth<br>I had to hear what he'd say<br><br>He sat me down to talk to me<br>He looked me straight in the eyes<br><br>He said:<br><br>You're no son, you're no son of mine<br>You're no son, you're no son of mine<br>You walked out, you left us behind<br>And you're no son, no son of mine<br><br>Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it<br>And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it<br><br>You're no son, you're no son of mine<br>But where should I go,<br>And what should I do<br>You're no son, you're no son of mine<br>But I came here for help, oh I came here for you<br><br>Well the years they passed so slowly<br>I thought about him everyday<br>What would I do, if we passed on the street<br>Would I keep running away<br><br>In and out of hiding places<br>Soon I'd have to face the facts<br>We'd have to sit down and talk it over<br>And that would mean going back<br><br>They say that time is a healer<br>And now my wounds are not the same<br>I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth<br>I had to hear what he'd say<br><br>He sat me down to talk to me<br>He looked me straight in the eyes<br><br>He said:<br><br>You're no son, you're no son of mine<br>You're no son, you're no son of mine<br>When you walked out, you left us behind<br>And you're no son, you're no son of mine<br><br>Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it<br>And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it<br><br>You're no son, you're no son of mine<br>But where should I go and what should I do<br>You're no son, you're no son of mine<br>But I came here for help, oh I was looking for you<br>You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh<br>You're no son - ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah<br>You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh, oh...
