Letra de Lullaby For Father

Watch your daughter's children play Thirty years ago today Memories of your last young summer Never seemed so far away Smiling at the gathering storm In the khaki uniform When you marched along the high street Did you listen to your heart beat? Did you find what you were looking for In the somewhere over there Was the answer found on the battleground Was the question really fair Tell me are the crosses that stand Planted by a gardener's hand Tended only by the weather Somewhere in the no man's land And does my love of life betray His immortal memory Poppies on a dusty high street Echoes of the lasting heart beat
