The Things We've Handed Down - MARC COHN[00:00:00]
Written by:Marc Cohn[00:00:20]
I don't know much about you[00:00:41]
I don't know who you are[00:00:44]
And we've been doing fine without you[00:00:47]
But we could only go so far[00:00:51]
I don't know why you chose us[00:00:55]
Were you watching from above[00:00:59]
Is there someone there that knows us[00:01:02]
Said we'd give you all our love[00:01:06]
Will you laugh just like your mother[00:01:17]
Will you sigh like your old man[00:01:21]
Will some things skip a generation[00:01:24]
Like I've heard they often can[00:01:28]
Are you a poet or a dancer[00:01:32]
A devil or a clown[00:01:36]
Or a strange new combination of[00:01:40]
The things we've handed down[00:01:45]
I wonder who you'll look like[00:01:55]
Will your hair fall down and curl[00:01:58]
Will you be a mama's boy[00:02:02]
Or daddy's little girl[00:02:06]
Will you be a sad reminder[00:02:09]
Of what's been lost along the way[00:02:12]
And maybe you can help me find her[00:02:16]
In the things you do and say[00:02:19]
And these things that we have given you[00:02:31]
They are not so easily found[00:02:35]
But you can thank us later[00:02:39]
For the things we've handed down[00:02:43]
The things we've handed down down[00:02:52]
Down down down down[00:02:55]
You may not always be so grateful[00:03:07]
For the way that you were made[00:03:11]
Maybe some feature of your father's[00:03:15]
That you'd gladly sell or trade[00:03:17]
And one day you may look at us[00:03:22]
And say that you were cursed[00:03:26]
But over time that line has been[00:03:29]
Extremely well rehearsed[00:03:33]
By our fathers and their fathers[00:03:38]
In some old and distant town[00:03:42]
From places no one here remembers[00:03:47]
Come the things we've handed down[00:03:51]
The things we've handed down[00:03:59]
The things we've handed down[00:04:06]
