Sons and Daughters |
| There’s a place in the city they call the Archway |
| Where we rented three rooms for a dollar a day |
| And I worked semi-skilled at the capstans for years |
| And my wife was a good woman but the love disappeared |
| Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons |
| When a marriage goes down they’re the loneliest ones |
| Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons |
| How I hope they can cope with the damage I’ve done |
| I found me a band, I went out on tour |
| So the kids wouldn’t know I was with them no more |
| When they said, «Where's me dad?» |
| She’d say, «He's a star!» |
| Oh if only stars knew what fools they all are |
| Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons |
| When a marriage goes down they’re the loneliest ones |
| Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons |
| How I hope they can cope with the damage I’ve done |
| I got a new contract, I got a new life |
| No more capstans for me and I’ve got a new wife |
| Sometimes she gets angry, says she wants a family |
| Then that nightmare returns like a ghost haunting me |
| Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons |
| When a marriage breaks up you’re the loneliest ones |
| Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons |
| How I hope you all cope with the damage we done |
