The No Good Useless Son

The poor Mother what she has to put up with…….
The no good son (Lyrics)
The sandman woke him and told him it was time to leave
That the sticks and stones that they threw at him had beat the word to the breeze
They would all know that He’d fallen from Grace
That The rain had returned and brought with it the storm
That the sands give way below his feet as the tides of time changed him

The moon climbed by itself without a promise or a lie
In his Bourbon dreams they torment his prayers as he wandered by
The sins of the father had been cast down to the son
Mother did her best with her no good useless son

No one knew his name as the rain poured down and the wind howled
As the sands gave way to the power of the tide

Her touch lingers on burning holes in his fire filled mind
As Destituted hope pours back into his glass , and all hope leaves his mind
They all knew he’d fallen down
They could see it all going on behind his eyes, the strangers in the centre of town

Who knew that hell would be so cold, with the fires that rage
he’s now telling his troubles to strangers who are just passing him by
Sitting there on his blanket as high as the sky who never gonna come down again
We all know he’s fallen from grace again

We can’t help him, we can just watch the horror as flows
The rest of the story is unknown

No one knows his name as the rain poured down and the wind howls
As the sands give way to the power of the tide
But mother don’t cry you did your best, with your no good useless son
A no good useless son

Great song. Most likely unintentional, but it reminds me a bit of early Springsteen.
