Sons And Daughters

(ian hunter)



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
