My Father -This Mortal Coil |
| [00:51.350] |
My father always promised us |
| [01:00.80] |
That we would live in france |
| [01:09.500] |
Wed go boating on the seine |
| [01:19.110] |
And I would learn to dance |
| [01:28.840] |
We lived in ohio then |
| [01:37.400] |
He worked in the mines |
| [01:47.940] |
On his dreams like boats |
| [01:53.120] |
We knew we would sail in time |
| [02:17.770] |
All my sisters soon were gone |
| [02:26.700] |
To denver and cheyenne |
| [02:35.770] |
Marrying their grownup dreams |
| [02:45.940] |
The lilacs and the man |
| [02:54.980] |
I stayed behind the youngest still |
| [03:03.720] |
Only danced alone |
| [03:12.830] |
The colors of my fathers dreams |
| [03:21.570] |
Faded without a sound |
| [04:03.172] |
And I live in paris now |
| [04:12.152] |
My children dance and dream |
| [04:21.452] |
Hearing the ways of a miners life |
| [04:31.432] |
In words theyve never seen |
| [04:40.982] |
I sail my memories of home |
| [04:49.342] |
Like boats across the seine |
| [05:00.30] |
And watch the paris sun |
| [05:15.10] |
As it sets in my fathers eyes again |
