Lyrics:
My father had a Randall knife
My mother gave it to him
When he went off to WWII
To save us all from ruin
If you've ever held a Randall knife
Then you
after a while
I got to greet death with a smile
Cos I got to meet my death one day
While father said to his mother
Mother you prepare
You got to find
we were gone astray
Oh tiding of comfort and joy
From God our heavenly father
The blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings
the better, oh
I thought about it and I brought it out
I'm motivated by the lack of doubt
I'm consecrated, but I'm not devout
The mother, the father
(I'll walk just beyond the moon then I'll stop and wait for you)
My mother and my father were in love for fifty years
So when dad died we wondered
time (night and day)
Oh is the right time (night and day)
If you want to love me (night and day)
That's what I say
Let me tell you about my mother
father in Avalon
When the time has come and life is bare
I'll make the journey and I know where
Mm, oh
In Avalon, in Avalon
We'll all be
He was born to be
Known as everybody's brother
He is the Father, Son, and Mary is His mother
He is a 'scuse my slanguage
Well, a compound country
By horse, by rail, by land, by sea, our journey starts
Two men incensed by one man's journey from the past
In Iceland, where the mountain stood
In an upstairs room in Blackpool
By the side of a northern sea
The army had my father
And my mother was having me
Military Madness was killing
When the sins of my father
Weigh down in my soul
And the pain of my mother
Will not let me go
Well, I know there can come fire from the sky
son, for this unjust death
Which takes your father from your side
Forgive me all who are my friends
I am with you, so do not cry
If mother wants to be
out,
My father's farm we could not save.
My mother lost her job today
My wife just said tuitions more another year we can't afford
So my Daughters
of youth my mother took sick
And I was brought up by my brother
The iron ore poured as the years passed the door
The drag lines an' the shovels they was
the mother praising the Father
See his tiny eyelids fall
One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand
carbohydrates
You're gonna look like skin and bone.
Living on the edge of starvation
And she says she's got no appetite
And her father and her mother
Born in the heat of the desert
My mother died givin' me life
Deprived of the love of a father
Blamed for the loss of his wife
You know Lord I've
porters & the sons of engineers
Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel
Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat
And the rhythm
of youth my mother took sick
And I was brought up by my brother
The iron ore poured as the years passed the door
The drag lines an' the shovels they was
Oh, he went to his mama, he covered his head
He told his mom, what his father had said
His mother, she laughed, she said, "go man go
Your daddy ain't
his father's truck and stole a gun
Mother running down the highway screaming
Johnny it's too bad, oh it's too and it's bad
And it's too bad
Safe in the arms of Jesus
When their journey here is through
An American love story
Not unlike a lot of others
Except that GI joe and Lillie
Is my father
me, Father, Sister, Brother?
Charlie, stop smoking
Caroline, will you be with me?
Will the baby be alright?
Will I have one of mine?
Can I handle
Buttons from a uniform
A cartridge from the war
Letters to my mother hidden in a drawer
All around me empty space
Never filled by a father's face
In
