Simeon Ball - Raker's son Lyrics

I'm a runt, flawed, raker's son
A robber without a gun
I'm a dunce, fraught, frightening fool
A workman without a tool
I took a long hard look anew, the view from far away
And when I brought it close, I could see right through
Today is gonna be that special day
I'm a short, drawn, not long to last
A lion without a pride
I'm a one, loud, thunderblast
I've gone to the other side
I took a long hard look anew, the view from far away
And when I brought it close, I could see right through
Today is gonna be that special day
She steals the raker's son
Takes roses from the park
She tells him all the things she's done
While stumbling in the dark
I took a long hard look anew, the view from far away
And when I brought it close, I could see right through
Today is gonna be that special day
I took a long hard look anew, the view from far away
And when I brought it close, I could see right through
Today is gonna be that special day
