Jim Cuddy - Everyone Watched the Wedding lyrics

Sister's got her baby now and I'm glad for what she did But her older one's in trouble, man I really love that kid Maybe he could live here, for us it would be nice He needs some time to grow up, needs a father in his life Me I guess I'm lucky, mine have almost grown It's amazing what they turn into from a seed that we have sown I remember nights just lying there, worrying a while I look across the room now, and I see them and I smile All we ever want at night's our families to be safe So we hold their hands and pick them up until they take their place We know that there's no promises, no no guarantees So we pray and pray and pray at night whatever will be will be Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this whole town And I think that I know why Everyone watched the wedding, two people in love Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above They're not like you and me, they were destined to be Oh everyone watched the wedding, couldn't get enough At least for one moment we were right there up above Looking down on all the royal fuss Monday we were back upon the bus Driving through the neighbourhoods and factories that are us That one day, hope was all that we could see And they looked so beautiful to me Hope was all that we could see And they looked so beautiful to me Oh sister I am tapped out, this month is really bad Can you hold on through May and then I'll give you what I have Everything is going up, business going down I've been through this so many times it always comes around My brother he's a charmer, a snake with a silver tongue Sometimes he up and disappears and we don't know where he's gone My mother she's a fighter, always made her way She can't believe she worries about us all to this day Me I just keep going, guess that I'll be fine But I can't believe I keep my head above the waterline Some people round here want to get rich and run away That's not for me no, I've got so many reasons to stay Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this damn town And I think that I know why Everyone watched the wedding, two people in love Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above They're not like you and me, they were destined to be Oh everyone watched the wedding, couldn't get enough At least for one moment we were right there up above Looking down on all the royal fuss Monday we were back upon the bus Driving through the neighbourhoods and factories that are us That knowing all our lives will never be But they looked so beautiful to me All our lives will never be But they looked so beautiful to me
