Daughters and Sons

When you wake up sweating

Sweating from a dream

From a dream you had the night before

And you're feeling old

And you feel the cold

From a draught that's coming

through your door

And your daughter's shining

Shining like the sun

Like the sun that's streaming

through your door

And you wonder who it is

Wonder who or what it is

That has put a foot in your door

And your son has gone out

Yes he's gone out hunting

With the man who was your brother

And your daughter's lying

Lying on the bed

With the man who was your lover

And you're feeling old

And you feel the cold

From a draught that's coming

through your door

And you wonder who it is

Wonder who or what it is

That has put a foot in your door

And your daughter's gone out

Yes she's gone out dancing

With the one who was your lover

And she's picked up all your songs

All the songs you ever sang

And she's picked up plenty more

And you're feeling old

And you feel the cold

From a draught that's coming

through your door

And you wonder who it is

Wonder who or what it is

That has put a foot in your door

Daughters and sons-

Daughters and sons-
