Jess And James - fado lyrics

rate me

<b>fado</b> by <i>Jess And James</i><br />Day by day

You die of loneliness

Waiting for your son

Blood from your veins

Lying to yourself

Believing your own lies

Like a very young child

You believe in fairy tales.

Your son

It was on me he leant

I bore him on my shoulders

My strength all spent

The blood out of his wounds

Blood from your veins

Ran down my own clothes

Down my face ran red.

Night and day you wait for him

You think of him

You make your dreams mix-up

With your life's reality

Night and day you knit for him

You look for him

You can't believe he's dead

You think it can't be true.

Your pain

In time will die away

It's dying day by day

Let it die away

You still have the time

To love another son

Don't give your love away

Save it for other days.

I know how

Your house now is still

Filled with loneliness

Full of emptiness

Nothing of him remained

Not even his picture-frame

He was your only son

He was my only friend.
