Pass It On
Billy Bragg
Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
With a bunch of strangers who all share my name I gathered at the graveside in the pouring rain Never thought I'd find myself back here again Yet here I am standing in the lane Got a lot of pieces missing in my past Never really noticed time was moving so fast So many questions that I wanted to ask But I let all my chances slip past They slipped past Pass it on, pass it on Teach them the words of your song Voices fall silent but memories live on Those we remember are never gone Never gone A wooden box of trinkets in the drawer by the bed A dusty sheaf of letters from people now dead A lock of golden hair cut from a baby's head And so many things left unsaid Be they sentimental or deeply profound All the things we've hidden will one day be found The riches of a family cannot weighed in pounds But in the stories that they can hand down Hand them down Pass it on, pass it on Teach them the words of your song Voices fall silent but memories live on Those we remember are never gone Pass it on, pass it on Teach them the words of your song Voices fall silent but memories live on Those we remember are never gone Never gone
