Salesman Saint

[00:15.14] My father was a salesman
[00:20.02] My mother was a saint
[00:24.14] Working every God-given minute
[00:28.67] To make enough to pay the rent
[00:34.45] The war was nearly over
[00:39.15] The peace would soon begin
[00:43.41] Living on the edge of the city
[00:47.67] When the roads were going in
[00:52.50] They couldn't take any more (They couldn't take any more)
[00:57.20] But they had to (Carry on)
[01:02.36] They couldn't take any more (They couldn't take any more)
[01:06.78] But they had to carry on (Carry on)
[01:12.69]
[01:31.07] So they learned to carry on
[01:35.13] With laughter and a song
[01:38.23] To help them through the night
[01:43.87] They're going to make it through
[01:47.56] They're going to make it all right
[01:56.14] The only entertainment
[02:00.36] A piano and a radio
[02:05.92] Hot tea and cigarettes
[02:09.27] Was enough to keep them on the go
[02:15.38] Another generation
[02:20.26] Yearning to be free
[02:24.26] Learning how to keep it together
[02:29.04] And raise a family
[02:33.14] They couldn't take any more (They couldn't take any more)
[02:38.00] But they had to (Carry on)
[02:42.98] They couldn't take any more (They couldn't take any more)
[02:47.45] But they had to carry on
[02:52.39] Carry on
[02:55.83]
