Family Ties

[Intro]
Family ties and all of our strangeness
But there's 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 you'd 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 there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces (Hey, hey)
And the sun won't 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 there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces (Hey, hey)
And the sun won't 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 we're ever gonna let the sun go down
No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down
No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down
No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down

[Chorus]
We got these family ties and all of our strangeness
But there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces
And the sun won't 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
