your daughter's father - the rough & tumble lyrics

Loading...

just an old dog growling in the corner
waiting there for someone to yell at you to stop
and all your children know how to approach you
and how to avoid you when they’re cutting through the yard
aren’t you tired?

instead of riling up them boys
instead of raising cain for fodder
don’t go swinging at the devil and not check under your feet
if you work harder
maybe if you’re lucky
you can grow up too to be your daughter’s father

mm*mm*mm*mm*mm
mm*mm*mm*mm*mm

just an old god reigning in the temple
shouting for the echoes to bring back what you tossed
and all your children stand back from the table
wait until you’re finished to pick up what you’ve dropped
must be lonely at the top

don’t go riling up them boys
don’t go raising lambs for slaughter
don’t go charging out the cavalry on every empty field you meet
but if you love harder
maybe if you’re lucky
you can grow up too to be your daughter’s father
she don’t study war no more, mm*mm
she don’t study war no more, mm*mm
she don’t study war no more
she don’t study war

just a bullfrog stranded in the meadow
clinging to the old songs that used to be your pond
your child, she sprouted with her own legs
left you for the water while you yell at her to stop
