Ian Hunter - Sons & Daughters Lyrics
(ian hunter)Theres 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 theyre the loneliest onesSons and daughters, daughters and sonsHow I hope they can cope with the damage Ive doneI found me a band, I went out on tourSo the kids wouldnt know I was with them no moreWhen they said, wheres me dad? shed say, hes a star!Oh if only stars knew what fools they all are.Sons and daughters, daughters and sonsWhen a marriage goes down theyre the loneliest onesSons and daughters, daughters and sonsHow I hope they can cope with the damage Ive doneI got a new contract, I got a new lifeNo more capstans for me and Ive 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 youre the loneliest onesSons and daughters, daughters and sonsHow I hope you all cope with the damage we done
