"It's Family" lyrics
Andy White & Tim Finn Lyrics
It's family keeping us together
Bearing witness to each other
Navigating centuries
The beauty, terror, and the splendour
The smile from someone
Whom I long to see again
And when I do
I'll tell her that I love her
The sweet sad and slow surrender
The sweet sad and slow surrender
Family forever
Family forever
The time is ours to have and hold
To treasure and remember
Treasure and remember
From fooling round with cricket bats
To messages in cyberspace
Motor cars and rocket ships
The years have led a merry chase
The years have led a merry chase
The future winds into the past
An interactive pantomime
The ending's inconvenient
Always comes at the worst time
Family forever
Family forever
But it's family keeping us together
Bearing witness to each other
Drawing circles round the earth
Mother, father, sister, brother
Family
Family keeping us together
Family
Bearing witness to each other
Navigating centuries
The beauty, terror, and the splendour
The smile from someone
Whom I long to see again
And when I do
I'll tell her that I love her
The sweet sad and slow surrender
The sweet sad and slow surrender
Family forever
Family forever
The time is ours to have and hold
To treasure and remember
Treasure and remember
From fooling round with cricket bats
To messages in cyberspace
Motor cars and rocket ships
The years have led a merry chase
The years have led a merry chase
The future winds into the past
An interactive pantomime
The ending's inconvenient
Always comes at the worst time
Family forever
Family forever
But it's family keeping us together
Bearing witness to each other
Drawing circles round the earth
Mother, father, sister, brother
Family
Family keeping us together
Family
