Tonneau

Lyrics

There is a man taking care
There is a guy losing himself
There is a boy maturing
Becoming a father, nothing else

Don’t you say
The things you can’t say
Don’t ask too much
Put your guns away

Carry on father, carry on then
The bee will sting, a leg will break
You are the one to raise them

An eye on your daughter
An eye on your son
Keep an eye while they’re growing
And make sure they’re having fun

Dragging on and working on, dragging on
Dragging on and working on, dragging on
Dragging on, you are working on, you are dragging on
Dragging on and working on and dragging on

O Mother,
She is always close to you
You can smother them in your love
You can lose them in your truth
Cold truth

Hear them playing
Listen to how they ring
Hear them humming
Along with the songs you sing

Dragging on and working on, dragging on
