For My Son

Before I knew that you were coming 

I was allready waiting 



In my bedroom window every night 

I would burn a candle bright 

Like the light on a stormy sea 

So you would come straight to me 

Find me Before 



I knew you would come 

I loved you as the only one 

In everyone I looked for you 

Before I even knew 



Before I knew that you would arrive 

I could hear your gentle steps outside 



And when darkness fell all around 

When evil came without a sound 

A star of night mercifully sent me 

My wish for all to see 

So you could be loved here 

My darling 



Before I knew you would come

I could hear your gentle steps outside
