lyrics

My father and I were relative strangers
He was married to the bottle
Momma married to the danger
Of life lived beside
That pale amber glass
You could see him through the bottom
but he couldn’t see you back

(Chorus)
Daddy did you know
My eyes are green
Daddy did you know
Everything they seen
Like cold tidal water
The sins of the fathers
Visited the sons
And the daughter

Hot summer days
Heavy with inaction
Bleeding out the heat
He was drinking to distraction
Tension in the air
Like the sweat inside my palm
And no one had to tell me
Everything that could go wrong

(Chorus)

But cool summer nights
The sound of guitars
Laughter in the kitchen
Laughter that was ours
The moan of the strings
On a red violin
These are the things
that I’ll keep remembering

(Chorus)

Daddy did you know
My eyes are green
Daddy did you know
I inherited your strings
Like cool tidal water
The sins of the fathers
Visited the sons
And the daughter… and the daughter
