《My Father》歌词

[00:00:00] My Father - Pearls Before Swine

[00:00:01] My father always promised us that we would live in France

[00:00:13] We'd go boating on the Seine and I would learn to dance

[00:00:22] We lived in Ohio then he worked in the mines

[00:00:32] On his dreams like boats we knew we'd sail in time

[00:00:44] All my sisters soon were gone to Denver and Cheyenne

[00:00:55] Marrying their grownup dreams the lilacs and the man

[00:01:05] I stayed behind the youngest still only danced alone

[00:01:14] The colour's of my father's dreams faded without a sound

[00:01:27] And I live in Paris now my children dance and dream

[00:01:37] Hearing the words of a liner's life in words they've never seen

[00:01:47] I sail my memories of home like boats across the Seine

[00:01:55] And watch the Paris sun

[00:01:59] As it sets in my father's eyes again
