My Father - Pearls Before Swine[00:00:00]
My father always promised us that we would live in France[00:00:01]
We'd go boating on the Seine and I would learn to dance[00:00:13]
We lived in Ohio then he worked in the mines[00:00:22]
On his dreams like boats we knew we'd sail in time [00:00:32]
All my sisters soon were gone to Denver and Cheyenne[00:00:44]
Marrying their grownup dreams the lilacs and the man[00:00:55]
I stayed behind the youngest still only danced alone[00:01:05]
The colour's of my father's dreams faded without a sound [00:01:14]
And I live in Paris now my children dance and dream[00:01:27]
Hearing the words of a liner's life in words they've never seen[00:01:37]
I sail my memories of home like boats across the Seine[00:01:47]
And watch the Paris sun[00:01:55]
As it sets in my father's eyes again[00:01:59]
