Dying Man
You're on your dying bed
And you know, now, now that it's too late now
You can only feel the pain
Yeah, you can only feel the shame
You gave him lies, old man!
You let him die
Never knew who he was
You never even got to meet him once
Too proud, you were, yeah, too proud
To ever offer him your selfish hand
You gave him lies, old man!
You let him die
The man was your son but you never got to know him
The man was your son but you never became friends
The man was your son but you never were his father
The man was your son but you never weighed him up
You just left him to his sorrow, his pain
A skinflint you were, when he was too plain
You just left him to his sorrow, his pain
A poor hunchback he was, waiting for the rain
You just left him to his sorrow, his pain
A skinflint you were, when he was too plain
You just left him to his sorrow, his pain
A poor hunchback he was, waiting for the rain (repeated)
You let him die, old man
You let him die
And you know, now, now that it's too late now
You can only feel the pain
Yeah, you can only feel the shame
You gave him lies, old man!
You let him die
Never knew who he was
You never even got to meet him once
Too proud, you were, yeah, too proud
To ever offer him your selfish hand
You gave him lies, old man!
You let him die
The man was your son but you never got to know him
The man was your son but you never became friends
The man was your son but you never were his father
The man was your son but you never weighed him up
You just left him to his sorrow, his pain
A skinflint you were, when he was too plain
You just left him to his sorrow, his pain
A poor hunchback he was, waiting for the rain
You just left him to his sorrow, his pain
A skinflint you were, when he was too plain
You just left him to his sorrow, his pain
A poor hunchback he was, waiting for the rain (repeated)
You let him die, old man
You let him die
