Cover art for Son lyrics by National, The

Yeah, this song has really grown on me. I don't think the above lyrics are correct. Let me suggest:

and if you follow me son the wind will wrap around you carry you from the ground you will never be alone

your weight will turn to sunlight that's falling on a girl who's still inside the world

she's reading books from empty women they're giving beauty tips from empty hips

and how is the water of the rain and how is the air of the wind and how are the arms of your mother she's holding you in

watch them as they try to fly their kites inside their bedrooms that were only built for drinking your thoughts they never lasted long while you were under the sky above it you can hold a thought forever

(refrain)

(repeat)
