Fathers Songtext
von daybed

In the year that my son is born
I′ll announce his birth with a busted horn
Say I've been waiting forever and a day
I′ll write a song to sing him to sleep
Scattered words and broken melody
I'll teach him in hopes that he'll do better than me
Or maybe he′ll teach me


But when my trumpet has been blown
Will it be enough for you
But we are all young fathers once
And I′m the son of an only son

Everything I thought I ever believed
Withered away when I was twenty-three
As I get older I'm not as lost as I once was
My fathers always been a stable man
But I′m just getting by the best I can
And when we talk I say I'm doing fine
I swear I′m doing just fine


If I never learned that song
Would it mean anything to you
But we are all young fathers once
And I'm the son of an only son
