Family Tree — текст песни (Gerry Rafferty)

When we were young we used to sing
And we could feel the harmony
You`d sit there waiting in the wings
How long have you been waitin` to let your light shine?

Many years have gone since then
Seen us go our different ways
But now we sit here once again
Tonight we`re gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine.

This is the time and place
To bring out our memories
It`s written on every face
I can see it in you, you can see it in me.

In all the years we had
As part of a family tree
We knew the good and bad
I can see it in you, you can see it in me.

I know it`s left its mark on you
I see the same things in myself
You know there`s nothin` we can`t do
We`ve been a long time waitin`, but some things never die.

It`s time to leave all that behind
It`s time to lay that ghost to rest
We can`t deny the ties that bind
Tonight we`re gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine.

This is the time and place
To bring out our memories
It`s written on every face
I can see it in you, you can see it in me.

In all the years we had (when we were young we used to sing)
As part of a family tree (we could feel the harmony)
We knew the good and bad
I can see it in you, you can see it in me.

When we were young we used to sing...
