[00:00:00] The Things We've Handed Down (流传之事) - MARC COHN

[00:00:39] Don't know much about you

[00:00:42] Don't know who you are

[00:00:46] We've been doing fine without you

[00:00:49] But we could only go so far

[00:00:53] Don't know why you chose us

[00:00:57] Were you watching from above

[00:01:00] Is there someone there that knows us

[00:01:04] Said we'd give you all our love

[00:01:15] Will you laugh just like your mother

[00:01:19] Will you sigh like your old man

[00:01:22] Will some things skip a generation

[00:01:26] Like heard they often can

[00:01:30] Are you a poet or a dancer

[00:01:34] A devil or a clown

[00:01:39] Or a strange new combination of

[00:01:44] The things we've handed down

[00:01:53] I wonder who you'll look like

[00:01:56] Will your hair fall down and curl

[00:02:00] Will you be a mama's boy

[00:02:04] Or daddy's little girl

[00:02:07] Will you be a sad reminder

[00:02:11] Of what's been lost along the way

[00:02:14] Maybe you can help me find her

[00:02:17] In the things you do and say

[00:02:29] And these things that we have given you

[00:02:33] They are not so easily found

[00:02:39] But you can thank us later

[00:02:41] For the things we've handed down

[00:02:50] For the things we've handed down

[00:03:05] You may not always be so grateful

[00:03:09] For the way that you were made

[00:03:13] Maybe some feature of your father's

[00:03:15] That you'd gladly sell or trade

[00:03:20] And one day you may look at us

[00:03:24] And say that you were cursed

[00:03:28] But over time that line has been

[00:03:31] Extremely well rehearsed

[00:03:36] By our fathers and their fathers

[00:03:40] In some old and distant town

[00:03:45] From places no one here remembers

[00:03:49] Come the things we've handed down

[00:03:57] The things we've handed down

[00:04:04] The things we've handed down
