Enough for Now

The daughter's father watches, quietly we assume

He's no longer with us but he left this dusty room

In your name and it's an honor, it's a shame but it's your honor

Take it on your shoulder 'til you can find another

That's enough for now, he should've never left you broken

He should've held you, things your father never could do

That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken

He would've held you, things your father never told you

The century before you never could turn 21

Years and years he waited just watching for a son

For someone to go ahead, take the name he said

Years and years he waited and a daughter came instead

But that's enough for now, he should've never left you broken

He should've held you, things your father never could do

That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken

He would've held you, things your father never told you

Breathing comes in pairs

Except for twice

One begins and one's goodbye

Sixty years of sorrow he got five or six of bliss

Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss, as a kiss.

But that's enough for now, he never wanted to leave you broken

He would've held you, things your father never told you

That's enough for now, I would've never left you broken

I would've held you, things your father never could do

Words your father never told you

Sixty years of sorrow, he got five or six of bliss

Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss
