Purple Hyacinth

Purple Hyacinth

Look that Purple Hyacinth will soon bloom

Where are you heading my darling young one

Before you leave, can you play me that tune

Winter creeps, take my leather jacket son

You know the one after your mother died

The one that yelled rebellion and scars

The one that taught you to smoke and spit lies

You know the one you played for the night stars

Our relationship was never a song

It was more like my father's empty grave

My blood runs through your blue veins, so stay strong

Please listen, don't become Uncle Sam's slave

Here carry my tears; keep your eyes glad lad

Goodbye my son I …I love you too dad
