Song For Our Daughter

[00:11.90] Though they may want you to tread in their trail
[00:19.36] Only to see if the path they set fails
[00:26.87] Though they may want you to take off your clothes
[00:34.31] Whatever they think that the accent exposed
[00:39.74]
[00:41.78] With your clothes on the floor
[00:45.48]
[00:47.55] Taking advice for some old, balding bore
[00:53.41] You'll ask yourself, "Did I want this at all?"
[00:59.12]
[01:01.43] Do you remember what I said?
[01:05.33]
[01:07.51] The book I left by your bed?
[01:13.77] The words that some survivor read?
[01:22.09] Lately I've been thinking about our daughter growing old
[01:29.49] All of the bullshit that she might be told
[01:37.59] There's blood on the floor
[01:44.72] Maybe now you'll believe her for sure
[01:52.33] She remembers what I said
[01:58.78] The book I left by your bed
[02:04.65] The words that some survivor read
[02:11.03]
[02:28.55] Though they may take you for all you had left
[02:35.50] You won't be forgotten for what you had not done yet
[02:43.49] So you wished for a kiss from God
[02:49.42] And you mourn in your childish loss
[02:55.38] Innocence gone but it's not forgot
[03:00.65] You'll get your way through it somehow
[03:07.62] You remember what I said
[03:10.63]
[03:13.91] The book you left by your bed
[03:19.92] The words that we all have lived again
[03:26.42]
