Marc Cohn "The Things We've Handed Down" |
I don't know much about you I don't know who you are We been doin' fine whitout you But we could only go so far Don't know why you chose us we're you watching from above is there someone there that knows us said we'd give you all our love Do you laugh just like your mother Will you sight like your'e old man Did something skip a generation like I've heard they often can Are you a poet or a dancer A devil or clown Or a strange new combination of the things we've handed down Wonder who you look like will your hair fall down in curls will you be mama's boy or daddy's little girl Will you be a sad reminder Of what's been lost along the way Maybe you can help me find her In the things you do and say And theese things you have given you are not so easliy found Oh, but you can thank us later for the things we've handed down The things we've handed down... You may not always be so grateful for the way that you were made Maybe some features of your father's that you gladly sell or trade And one day you may look at us And say that you have were cursed But all the time that line has been extremly well rehearsed By our father's and their fathers in some old and distant town The places no-one here remembers cause the things we've handed down Things we've handed down x3...
