intro - (Verse 1) The Daughters' Father watches, quiet ly we assume He's no longer with us but he left this dusty room And your name it's an honor It's a shame but it's your honor To take it on your shoulder 'til you can find another {Chorus} That's enough for now He should have never left you broken He should have held you Things your Father never told you That's enough for now He would have never left you broken He would have held you Things your Father never could do {Verse 2} - same progression as verse 1 The century before me, never could turn 21 Years and years he waited, just watching for a son someone to go ahead, to take the name instead Years and years he waited, then a daughter came instead {Chorus} (Bridge) Breathing comes in pairs Except for twice One begins and one's goodbye 60 years of sorrow, you got 5 or 6 of bliss Left my mothers' mother Without so much as a ..... kiss As a kiss {Chorus} 60 years of sorrow, you got 5 or 6 of bliss Left my Mothers' mother Without so much as a kiss
