Song for a Family

歌詞

See the man in the corner of the tap room The froth from the beer is on his lip And it's rose-coloured where the skin is glowing And the domino is at his fingertip And he prays each night that his family's alright And he's got work See the lollipop lady by the roadside Some days, the kids are so hard to control But they bring her lots of presents on her birthday And their little faces make her feel so old And she prays each night that her family's alright And she's got work STRANGE AS IT MAY SEEM, WE ALL PRAY FOR SIMPLE THINGS STRANGERS SHARE YOUR DREAMS, WHO KNOWS WHAT THEIR PRAYERS WILL BRING? LOVE AND HEALTH IS ALL, TIL YOU FALTER IN YOUR STEPS AND FALL WE ALL LIVE ON DREAMS See the lad on the Saturday terraces With his collar pulled up around his chin His side is two goals down and playing lousy But he still believes his team is gonna win And he prays each night that his family's alright And he's got work STRANGE AS IT MAY SEEM, WE ALL PRAY FOR SIMPLE THINGS STRANGERS SHARE YOUR DREAMS, WHO KNOWS WHAT THEIR PRAYERS WILL BRING? LOVE AND HEALTH IS ALL, TIL YOU FALTER IN YOUR STEPS AND FALL WE ALL LIVE ON DREAMS STRANGE AS IT MAY SEEM, WE ALL PRAY FOR SIMPLE THINGS STRANGERS SHARE YOUR DREAMS, WHO KNOWS WHAT THEIR PRAYERS WILL BRING? LOVE AND HEALTH IS ALL, TIL YOU FALTER IN YOUR STEPS AND FALL WE ALL LIVE ON DREAMS
