Smashing Pumpkins - A Song for a Son + Lyrics

The first released song from the first "Teargarden by Kaleidyscope" EP "Songs for a Sailor" (2010).

Lyrics:

This is a song for a son
This is a song for a sailor
The best I ever had

This is a song for a kid
This is a song for a tailor
Who stitched up my old heart
Who stitched up my old heart

And I, I am one of many
Many more to come
Many more to come
I am one of many
Many more to come
Many more to come

This is a song for a dove
This is a song for a blown out bird
The kind that don't return to the nest

This is a song for a star
This is a song for a space invader
Who flew into the sun
Never to return
Never to return

I am one of many
Many more to come
Many more to come
I am one of many more
Many more to come
Many more to come

This is a song for a son
This is a song for a sailor
The son I never had
He sailed without a map

This is a song for that kid
This is a song for that tailor
Who stitched up my old heart
Before I broke it all
All apart

I am one of many
Many more to come
Many more to come
I am one of many more
Many more to come
Many more to come

You daughters of the revolution
Carry back your sons
Carry them back home
You daughters of the revolution
Carry back your sons home

This is a song for a son
This is a song for a sailor
The best I ever had
He sailed without a map
