[00:00:00] The Things We've Handed Down - MARC COHN

[00:00:20] Written by：Marc Cohn

[00:00:41] I don't know much about you

[00:00:44] I don't know who you are

[00:00:47] And we've been doing fine without you

[00:00:51] But we could only go so far

[00:00:55] I don't know why you chose us

[00:00:59] Were you watching from above

[00:01:02] Is there someone there that knows us

[00:01:06] Said we'd give you all our love

[00:01:17] Will you laugh just like your mother

[00:01:21] Will you sigh like your old man

[00:01:24] Will some things skip a generation

[00:01:28] Like I've heard they often can

[00:01:32] Are you a poet or a dancer

[00:01:36] A devil or a clown

[00:01:40] Or a strange new combination of

[00:01:45] The things we've handed down

[00:01:55] I wonder who you'll look like

[00:01:58] Will your hair fall down and curl

[00:02:02] Will you be a mama's boy

[00:02:06] Or daddy's little girl

[00:02:09] Will you be a sad reminder

[00:02:12] Of what's been lost along the way

[00:02:16] And maybe you can help me find her

[00:02:19] In the things you do and say

[00:02:31] And these things that we have given you

[00:02:35] They are not so easily found

[00:02:39] But you can thank us later

[00:02:43] For the things we've handed down

[00:02:52] The things we've handed down down

[00:02:55] Down down down down

[00:03:07] You may not always be so grateful

[00:03:11] For the way that you were made

[00:03:15] Maybe some feature of your father's

[00:03:17] That you'd gladly sell or trade

[00:03:22] And one day you may look at us

[00:03:26] And say that you were cursed

[00:03:29] But over time that line has been

[00:03:33] Extremely well rehearsed

[00:03:38] By our fathers and their fathers

[00:03:42] In some old and distant town

[00:03:47] From places no one here remembers

[00:03:51] Come the things we've handed down

[00:03:59] The things we've handed down

[00:04:06] The things we've handed down
