Im Your Son by Neil Hagerty Lyrics

I'd swear there was a wall around my hometown
Preserving all the kids, their tenderness and faith
I wanna let it pass by
Although it's true to say
That was gone long ago

I'm far away now
I got caught in a job
And it's no relief to think I might go back
They're not that good anyway
And now I'm leaving New England
With the red sky in my side-mirror

I'm off the river
That's where all the work gets down
But it was you that made me
I'm your son

I got a phone call late yesterday
I couldn't make out the voice
It came from so far away
And it brought to me impatience that [I] kept around for days
I'm off the river
That's where all the work gets down
But it was you that made me
I'm your son
