Song For A Good Son Lyrics - The Bangles

A summer's day so long ago 

A thousand boats dancing on the bay 

I came to you inside a dream 

We both held hands and fell into the water 

You never claimed to know me well 

The dark eyed son, the privileged man 

You found me bitter, you thought me cold 

Well now I'm gonna make you understand 

My mother died, my father cried 

You left me lonely by the waterside 

Waterside, so deep and wide 

If I follow, maybe I will find her 

Beyond the salt and spray 

The current carried her away 

(Aaa) 

Beyond the salt and spray 

A current carried her away 

(Away) 

(Aaa) 

I can't outrun my destiny 

Tell me who will sing a song for me 

Darkness darkness cover me 

By my own hand is the way it has to be 

My mother died my father cried 

(Father cried) 

You will find me by the waterside 

Waterside so deep and wide 

(So deep and wide) 

If I follow, maybe I will find her 

(By waterside) 

If I follow, maybe I will find her 

(So deep and wide) 

Maybe I will find her 

(By waterside) 

(So deep and wide) 

(By waterside) 

(So deep and wide) 

(By waterside) 

(So deep and wide) 

(By waterside) 

(So deep and wide) 

(By waterside)
