Letra

[Verse 1]
A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand, some drummed along, whoa, to a handsome-mannered baton (Bygone, bygone)
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the opera glass, you see the pit and the pendulum drawn (Bygone, bygone)
[Chorus]
Columnated ruins domino
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping?
[Verse 2]
Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me to a song dissolved in the dawn (Bygone, bygone)
The music hall, a costly bow
The music, all is lost for now, to a muted trumpeter swan (Bygone, bygone)
[Chorus]
Columnated ruins domino
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping
Brother John?
[Verse 3]
Dove-nested towers, the hour was strike, the street, quicksilver moon
Carriage across the fog, two-step to lamplight's cellar tune
The laughs come hard in "Auld Lang Syne"
The glass was raised, the fired rose, the fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting
While at port, adieu or die
A choke of grief, heart-hardened, I
Beyond belief, a broken man too tough to cry
[Verse 4]
Surf's up, mmm-mmm-mmm, aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join the young and often spring you gave
I heard the word, wonderful thing, a children's song
[Outro]
Child, child, child, father of the man
Child, child, child, father of the man
A children's song
Child, child, child, father of the man
Have you listened as they played?
Child, child, child is the father of the man
Their song is love
Child, child, child, father of the man
And the children know the way
Child, child, child, the father of the man
That's why the child—
Child, child, child, father of the man
Child, child, child, father of the man
That's why the child—
Child, child, child, father of the man
Child, child, child, father of the man
Written by: Brian Wilson, Van Dyke Parks
