Ian Hunter - Sons And Daughters Lyrics
There's a place in the city they call the ArchwayWhere we rented three rooms for a dollar a dayand I worked semi-skilled at the capstans for yearsAnd my wife was a good woman but the love disappearedSons and Daughters, Daughters and SonsWhen a marriage goes down they're the loneliest onesSons and Daughters, Daughters and SonsHow I hope they can cope with the damage I've doneI found me a band, I went out on tourSo the kids wouldn't know I was with them no moreWhen 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 SonsWhen a marriage goes down they're the loneliest onesSons and Daughters, Daughters and SonsHow I hope they can cope with the damage I've doneI got a new contract, I got a new lifeNo more capstans for me and I've got a new wifeSometimes she gets angry, says she wants a familyThen that nightmare returns like a ghost haunting meSons and Daughters, Daughters and SonsWhen a marriage breaks up you're the loneliest onesSons and Daughters, Daughters and SonsHow I hope you all cope with the damage we done
