"Dylan" lyrics

How you doing?
Hope you're coping fine without me
Mum says you're taller, you were bound to be
Guess I'm wondering how you're coping in a gritty world like this
It's cold, I know
Wish I could watch you grow just like when we were kids
But you were better off they moved you south to the sticks
It was rough some nights for me but knew it's for the best
This city's cold, hope you'll never know

I've learnt to know time has no patience
And no way of erasing
In this case I'm glad you're my peace of mind
But it burns just like the desert
That you're gon' feel the pressure
Conforming to a man in this life

In a bad place I just see you and remember
Playing in the park August, September
Now I'm barely home for Christmas in December
And it's cold, so alone
Wish I could watch you grow just like when we were kids
But you were better off they moved you south to the sticks
It was rough some nights for me but knew it's for the best
This city's cold, hope you'll never know

I've learnt to know time has no patience
And no way of erasing
In this case I'm glad you're my peace of mind
But it burns just like the desert
That you're gon' feel the pressure
Conforming to a man in this life

I'm here to say it's okay to cry
But learn how to dry your eyes
Lugging a heavy heart isn't nice
Wish I could stay attached to your side
But I know you'll be just fine
I'll hold you first and always in my mind
