No Son Of Mine lyrics

Well, the key to my survival

Was never in much doubt

The question was how I could keep sane

Trying to find a way out

Things were never that easy for me

Peace of mind was hard to find

And I needed a place where I could hide

Somewhere I could call mine

I didn't think much about it

Till it started happening all the time

Soon I was living with fear every day

Of what might happen that night

I couldn't stand to hear the crying

Of my mother - and I remember when

I thought that that would be the last they'd see of me

And I never went home again

They say time is a healer

And now my wounds are not the same

I'd cling myself with my heart in my mouth

I had to hear what he'd say

He sat me down to talk to me

He looked me straight in the eyes

He said: "You're no son, you're no son of mine"

But where should I go, and what should I do

"You're no son, you're no son of mine"

But I came here for help, oh, I came here for you

Well, the years they passed so slowly

I thought about him every day

What would I do if we passed on the street

Would I keep running away

In and out of hiding places

Soon I'd have to face the facts

We'd have to sit down and talk it over

And that would mean going back

They say time is a healer

And now my wounds are not the same

I'd cling myself with my heart in my mouth

I had to hear what he'd say

He sat me down to talk to me

He looked me straight in the eyes

He said: "You're no son, you're no son of mine"

But where should I go, and what should I do

"You're no son, you're no son of mine"

But I came here for help, oh, I was looking for you.

"You're no son, you're no son of mine..."
