lyrics

Returned at home one night
college has just ended
he was supposed to be a man
felt nothing but a child
Father stared at him
with that look he knew so well
“Son, we are so proud
don´t you ever dissapoint”
Mamma kept so quiet
she didn´t even look
I guess she felt some doubts
about her mamma´s only son

So embrazed new life,
the one he did not ask
pretty far from plan
of only shine and burn
Did it good at job,
raised a kid or two,
pretend even to be
a better husband too
Gave his best time, sure,
got not much in return
It felt pretty clear from start
how the story ends

COLD AS WAS THE NIGHT
RETURNED AT HOME THAT DAY
DRUNK AS HE COULD BE
SEEKIN´ SOME REPAIR
FOUND HIS OLD MAN GLANCE
DARKENED THROUGH THE TIME
ABLE NOT TO KNOW
WHOM HE STARED AT THEN
MAMMA´S IN THE ROOM
QUIET AS SHE USED TO
BUT I´LL GUESS, THE WAY SHE LOOKED,
SHE FULLY UNDERSTOOD

So when trial did come
DA looked him hard
“Why the hell you did
such an awful thing”
“I wish I could just tell,
I wish I could just know,
this life I did not fit,
It´s all I´m up to say”
Now spends his days locked up,
dressed in orange suit,
holding like a child
his dream of shine and burn
