To you, the son I love, my boy Don't say he lost the right If he did he just might When the times comes you, the son, so lost The boy who walked out today is gone away So far, so long Orphan boy who lost the right Whose parents were killed and drowned a lie Oh when the time comes you, you lost the way The boy who only walked today was just too weird My boy was lost, never to find a home He was lost, my boy, my boy Why yes it was a mercy When the time comes to you, you find, my boy The adoption man will find it in you So far away, so find my boy, oh So lost, my boy, my boy
