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
