I will start by saying I am new here. I read over a few topics and it looks like this will be a good place for me to check out once and a while. I am the kind of person that has to understand what the lyrics are talking about in order to like a song. I drive my wife nuts with it.
I have been reading the lyrics and have been listening to this song but I just don't quite get it. I understand a little bit of what it is talking about but I there are parts of it that don't make sense to me. I will put the lyrics below. I hope someone out there likes this song too and can help me out a little. Thanks in advance
The daughter's father watches, quietly we assume
He's not 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 5 or 6 of bliss
Left my mother’s mother without so much 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 5 or 6 of bliss
Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss
