Family ties and all of our strangeness
~#**************#~
But theres love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
I can picture your driveway, I remember the house up on the hill
~#**************#~
Hear the rain falling on tinned roof (Hey, hey)
~#**************#~
All the trees that had woven in and out of your bedroom and the hall
~#**************#~
Wrapped the light that youd made around you
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Time stopped in the space between your breathing
~#**************#~
Caught up in the sounds the house was making
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Family ties and all of our strangeness (Hey, hey)
~#**************#~
But theres love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces (Hey, hey)
~#**************#~
And the sun wont go down on all of your memories (hey, hey)
~#**************#~
You know, we got, we got these (We got, we got these)
~#**************#~
We got these family ties (Hey, hey)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
I remember your stories, I can picture the garden that you grew
~#**************#~
How we spoke when you passed on through
~#**************#~
I still think of your kindness and the way that your hair would tumble down
~#**************#~
All the people who lent on you
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
‘Cause time stopped like it left you in the sixties
~#**************#~
Caught up in a life outside the city
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Family ties and all of our strangeness (Hey, hey)
~#**************#~
But theres love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces (Hey, hey)
~#**************#~
And the sun wont go down on all of your memories (Hey, hey)
~#**************#~
You know, we got, we got these (We got, we got these)
~#**************#~
We got these family ties (Hey, hey)
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
No way were ever gonna let the sun go down
~#**************#~
No way were ever gonna let the sun go down
~#**************#~
No way were ever gonna let the sun go down
~#**************#~
No way were ever gonna let the sun go down
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
We got these family ties and all of our strangeness
~#**************#~
But theres love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces
~#**************#~
And the sun wont go down in all of your memories
~#**************#~
You know we got, we got these (We got, we got these)
~#**************#~
We got these family ties (Hey, hey)
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
(Hey, hey) La-da-da-da-da (Hey, hey)
~#**************#~
We got, we got these, we got these family ties (Hey, hey)
~#**************#~
(Hey, hey) We got, we got, we got, we got these (Hey, hey)
~#**************#~
We got, we got these, we got these family ties
