Elvis Costello & The Imposters - My Three Sons lyrics

Day is dawning Almost sounded like a warning Wind was rushing through the trees almost falling I never thought that I'd become The proud father of my three sons Years of fragment Between the shame and the sentiment For all the years that I might have been absent I can't do what can't be undone Oh no, my three songs I love you more than I can say What I give to one, the other cannot take away I bless the day you came to be With everything that is left to me Here's your pillow Go to sleep and I will follow May you never have anymore sorrows That's not something that you can count upon Still I want it for my three sons My, my, my three sons Deep in the night I turn cold and sick But I only curse arithmetic I bless the day that you came to be With everything that is left to me
