Father To Son (Live At The Rainbow, London / November 1974) Lyrics

So this one is called 'Father To Son'

A word in your ear
From father to son
Hear the word that I say
I fought with you, fought on your side
Long before you were born
Kings will be crowned, the word goes around
Father to son, to son

And the voice is so clear
Time after time I keep on calling you, calling you on
Don't destroy what you see, your country to be
Just keep building on the ground that's been won
Kings will be crowned, the word goes around
Father to son, to son
Yes

Do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do
Our family song
Do, do, do, do, do, do
Ooh, yeah
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Let me move along, along, along

Take this letter that I give you
Take it sonny hold it high
You won't understand a word that's in it
But you'll write it out again before you die
Oooh, yeah

To-da, to-da, to-da, oh yeah
I want to write you out a letter

A word in your ear
From father to son
Funny you don't hear a single word I say
But my letter to you will stay by your side
Through the years, though the loneliness has gone

Sing if you will
But the air you breathe I live to give you
Father to son
Father to, (father to), son

Nice, thank you
Thank you very much
Um, right now we'd like to do a little sad song
Oh yes, so I hope you've got all your handkerchiefs out
