Ian Hunter - Sons and Daughters [Live]Lyrics

There`s a place in the city they call the Archway Where we rented three rooms for a dollar a day and I worked semi-skilled at the capstans for years And my wife was a good woman but the love disappeared Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons When a marriage goes down they`re the loneliest ones Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons How I hope they can cope with the damage I`ve done I found me a band, I went out on tour So the kids wouldn`t know I was with them no more When they said, "Where`s me dad?" She`d say, "He`s a star!" Oh if only stars knew what fools they all are. Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons When a marriage goes down they`re the loneliest ones Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons How I hope they can cope with the damage I`ve done I got a new contract, I got a new life No more capstans for me and I`ve got a new wife Sometimes she gets angry, says she wants a family Then that nightmare returns like a ghost haunting me Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons When a marriage breaks up you`re the loneliest ones Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons How I hope you all cope with the damage we done
