Son of the Sea

Lyrics

The house is full of life
 Life is change
 Even death is not stable
 ♪
 The house is full of whatever I bring to the table
 If there is no supper, the children look to me
 Then to the table and then to the sea
 ♪
 A son of a fisherman, like I used to be
 ♪
 I spent many a day staring out at that sea
 ♪
 Water apologizes for sorrow endlessly
 ♪
 And what change will come when our will is done?
 ♪
 I got married to my wife, she's lovely
 And I had a son
 ♪
 Giving birth nearly killed me
 ♪
 Some say I died
 ♪
 And all that survived was my lullabies
 ♪
 The panic room is now a nursery
 And there's renovators renovating constantly
 In the winter, the water is frank with me
 Says "Son, there is still a fisherman out on that sea
 ♪
 And he's looking for his family
 He's looking for his family
 He's looking for the son of the sea
 He's looking for the son of the sea"
