Marry Waterson & Oliver Knight - Father Us

She woke the sun in early morn
and sang to him a love song
She tamed the heart that strayed
and bent her step his way
With one ear to the grapevine
we'll try to catch time
Father us. Oh mother us
Try to keep some love in us

The eye seldom used chooses not to see
light cast shade so quietly
No man's land is a company
that whines and barks constantly

With one ear to the grapevine
we'll try to catch time
Oh father us. Oh mother us.
Try to keep some love in us

We're of a modern age (there goes the day)
there goes the day (there goes the day)
we're of a modern age (there goes the day)
there goes the day (there it goes, there it goes, there it goes)
We took the heart that strayed
and bent our step this way
With one ear to the grapevine
we'll try to catch time
Oh father us. Oh mother us.
Try to keep some love in us
Father us. Mother us.
Try to keep some love in us

She woke the sun in early morn
and sang to him a love song
She tamed the heart that strayed
and bent her step his way
