There's a place in the city they call the Archway
|
Where we rented three rooms for a dollar a day
|
and I worked semi-skilled at the capstans for years
|
And my wife was a good woman but the love disappeared
|
|
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons
|
When a marriage goes down they're the loneliest ones
|
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons
|
How I hope they can cope with the damage I've done
|
|
I found me a band, I went out on tour
|
So the kids wouldn't know I was with them no more
|
When they said, "Where's me dad?" She'd say, "He's a star!"
|
Oh if only stars knew what fools they all are.
|
|
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons
|
When a marriage goes down they're the loneliest ones
|
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons
|
How I hope they can cope with the damage I've done
|
|
I got a new contract, I got a new life
|
No more capstans for me and I've got a new wife
|
Sometimes she gets angry, says she wants a family
|
Then that nightmare returns like a ghost haunting me
|
|
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons
|
When a marriage breaks up you're the loneliest ones
|
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons
|
How I hope you all cope with the damage we done
|
