Family Ties

Family ties and all of our strangeness But there's love in your eyes It breaks me to pieces I can picture your driveway I remember the house up on the hill Hear the rain falling on tinned roof All the trees that had woven In and out of your bedroom and the hall Wrapped the life that you'd made round you Time stopped, in the space between your breathing Caught up in the sounds the house was making Family ties and all of our strangeness But there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces And the sun won't go down with all your memories You know, we got, we got these We got these family ties I remember your stories I can picture the garden that you grew How we spoke when you passed on through (I) still think of your kindness And the way that your hair would tumble down All the people who lent on you Time stopped like it left you in the 60s Caught up, in a life outside the city Family ties and all of our strangeness But there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces And the sun won't go down on all your memories You know, we got, we got these (we got, we got these) We got these family ties No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down We got these... Family ties and all of our strangeness But there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces And the sun won't go down on all your memories You know we got, we got these (we got, we got these) We got these family ties
