| It was simple, we were man and wife; | |
| something happened to change everything in life | |
| and made us feel small but we were giants nonetheless | |
| and here we are all in the family portrait. | |
| I've been sliding in a 2.4-wheel skid: | |
| something happened to me and since the kids | |
| all time's gone awry, direction's askew... | |
| I never thought that I | |
| would ever feel so used up. | |
| The sense of wonder, the note of panic, demands you just can't ignore | |
| nothing prepares you to be a parent, | |
| looking to join the strands of the broken chord. | |
| What you wanted, what I couldn't give... | |
| something happened to us – oh, but since the kids | |
| inherit the earth | |
| we had to plough and drill the field, | |
| nurture the shoots with our hopes and fears, | |
| never wonder about the future yield. | |
| (Never wonder, never wonder, this is real) | |
| I've been thinking about all we did, | |
| much mistaken but anyway, since the kids | |
| are now almost grown with the future in their own hands | |
| what's done is done – there'll be no unmaking our half-baked plans. | |
| Here comes the gold watch, I'll take the pension, I want the lifetime award; | |
| all for the best, with the best of intentions, the children are their own reward... | |
| Since the kids, | |
| since the kids, | |
| since the kids | |
| mended the broken chord. |
| It was simple, we were man and wife | |
| something happened to change everything in life | |
| and made us feel small but we were giants nonetheless | |
| and here we are all in the family portrait. | |
| I' ve been sliding in a 2. 4wheel skid: | |
| something happened to me and since the kids | |
| all time' s gone awry, direction' s askew... | |
| I never thought that I | |
| would ever feel so used up. | |
| The sense of wonder, the note of panic, demands you just can' t ignore | |
| nothing prepares you to be a parent, | |
| looking to join the strands of the broken chord. | |
| What you wanted, what I couldn' t give... | |
| something happened to us oh, but since the kids | |
| inherit the earth | |
| we had to plough and drill the field, | |
| nurture the shoots with our hopes and fears, | |
| never wonder about the future yield. | |
| Never wonder, never wonder, this is real | |
| I' ve been thinking about all we did, | |
| much mistaken but anyway, since the kids | |
| are now almost grown with the future in their own hands | |
| what' s done is done there' ll be no unmaking our halfbaked plans. | |
| Here comes the gold watch, I' ll take the pension, I want the lifetime award | |
| all for the best, with the best of intentions, the children are their own reward... | |
| Since the kids, | |
| since the kids, | |
| since the kids | |
| mended the broken chord. |
