Description
Wrote this song for my father & son...a song which spans three generations of differences, relationships, age & familiarity.
Lyrics
My old man is turning old and gray He still says things that can make me irate But it’s all well and good Never misunderstood Now I remember when I said I’d never be like him, but I find myself repeating The things that he would do Slowly turning into you So I disappeared and displaced myself For years until I found my own way Back by the bay and drove for miles each day But now I’ve come back to you I’ve come back to you The bridge of trait and trace Spans age and generation Criticism, blame and praise And precarious situations I know that you’ve said you’ve been here before I know you’ve told me so many times before
