《That’s My Job》歌词

[00:00:00] That's My Job - Glen Templeton

[00:00:09] I woke up cryin' late at night when I was very young

[00:00:19] I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone

[00:00:28] My world revolved around him

[00:00:31] I couldn't lie there anymore

[00:00:36] So I made my way down the mirrored hall

[00:00:41] And tapped upon his door

[00:00:45] And I said daddy I'm so afraid

[00:00:50] How will I go on with you gone that way

[00:00:55] Don't wanna cry anymore

[00:00:58] So may I stay with you

[00:01:04] And he said that's my job that's what I do

[00:01:14] Everything I do is because of you

[00:01:19] To keep you safe with me

[00:01:24] That's my job you see

[00:01:31] Later we barely got along

[00:01:35] This teenage boy and he

[00:01:39] Most of the fights it seems were over different dreams

[00:01:44] That we each held for me

[00:01:49] He wanted knowledge and learning

[00:01:53] I wanted to fly out west

[00:01:57] Said I could make it out there if I just had the fare

[00:02:02] I got half will you loan me the rest

[00:02:06] And I said daddy I'm so afraid

[00:02:12] There's no guarantee in the plans I've made

[00:02:16] And if I should fail who will pay my way back home

[00:02:25] And he said that's my job that's what I do

[00:02:35] Everything I do is because of you

[00:02:40] To keep you safe with me

[00:02:45] That's my job you see

[00:02:50] Every person carves a spot and fills the hole with life

[00:02:58] And I pray someday I might light as bright as he

[00:03:13] I woke up early one bright fall day

[00:03:17] Just read the tragic news

[00:03:21] After all my travels

[00:03:24] I settled down within a mile or two

[00:03:31] I make my livin' with words and rhymes and all this tragedies

[00:03:39] Should go into my head and out instead as bits of poetry

[00:03:48] But I say daddy I'm so afraid

[00:03:53] How will I go on with you gone this way

[00:03:58] How could I come up with a song to say I love you

[00:04:10] That's my job that's what I do

[00:04:19] Everything I do is because of you

[00:04:23] To keep you safe with me

[00:04:28] That's my job you see

[00:04:33] Everything I do is because of you

[00:04:37] To keep you safe with me
