D.C. Cooper - Three Generations lyrics

The father stands above him High fist in the air The little boy that stands before He dreams he wasn't there Imagination takes him to a place It takes him somewhere he can hide his face The dream was perfect but it's dying away (dying away) Sitting, staring out the window through the day Listen to the sounds, remember the taste Before now he had thought that it was such a waste Twenty years have now past Boy's grown to a man Trying not to be just like his dad The best he can Separation of their two lives is hard Now there is three his own son he'll discard The father stands above him High fist in the air The little boy that stands before He dreams he wasn't there Imagination takes him to a place It takes him somewhere he can hide his face The dream was perfect but it's dying away (dying away) Sitting, staring out the window through the day Listen to the sounds, remember the taste Before now he had thought that it was such a waste Twenty years have now past Boy's grown to a man Trying not to be just like his dad The best he can Separation of their two lives is hard Now there is three, his own son he'll discard The dream was perfect but it's dying away (dying away) Sitting, staring out the window through the day Listen to the sounds, remember the taste Before now he had thought that it was such a waste Somehow he is the same Though he is not sure who's to blame Tried with such pa**ion to change all along Not seeing what he's done is just as wrong He sits along an old man scorned He waits for his dream to be born The dream was perfect but it's dying away (dying away) Sitting, staring out the window through the day Listen to the sounds, remember the taste Before now he had thought that it was such a waste
