| Lyrics: | Dad says it's striking
How I look like you
And how we share the same eyes
Yes,
he swears I'm just a smaller form of you
But brittle bones and a wisp of white hair
Are all I see in that old rocking chair
(Chorus)
Tell me, how long have
you been around?
And how long Å’til you're underground?
Tell me, how can a son be a
father,
A mother a daughter,
And I be a man someday?
Well, I wonder
Yes
I do, I really wonder
Could I belong to someone so old, who
Can only speak in
whispers
And who cannot hear a single word I say
You're a man with a quivering
hand
How we're connected I just can't understand
(Chorus)
But
when I think of how you smile
And the way you look at me
It isn't hard to recognize
That you belong to me, that you're a part of me
Tell me, how can a son be a
father,
A mother a daughter,
And I be a man someday?
Well, I wonder
Yes
I do, I really wonder |
