Hawk and Dove
Текст песни A Song For Him

So you wanna be a child of mine, so you wanna be a child of mine
Do you think I need something in you?
Do you know what you're getting yourself into?
Now all I want is a single memory I can't understand
Without the smoke and the mirrors that turn all to sand
Sand on the shores on the bloody ocean and the money sea
Oh, sand on the bedrock of the Paper Mountains and the concrete trees.

Chorus:
Father Abraham, you should have followed through
Father Abraham, you should have stopped, because you wanted to
Father Abraham, you should have left me upon a mountain top
I could have spared my own son, he never forgot how I looked at you!

Now many were too close together in a city we can barely see the sky
Maybe we're too close together in a city where we can't look into each other's eyes

So man on corner says please, please don't pass me by
For I am blind, but you, you can see!

Now I still smoke my grandpa's cigarettes from World War 2
I steal wear the hood that hang across folks was burnt on to
Now as far as I walk it feels like someone else's shoes
And I'm sick and I'm tired of living in everyone else's shoes!

Chorus: (x2)
Father Abraham, you should have followed through
Father Abraham, you should have stopped, because you wanted to
Father Abraham, you should have left me upon a mountain top
I could have spared my own son, he never forgot how I looked at you!

Father Abraham should have followed through!
Father Abraham should have followed through!
Father Abraham should have followed through!
