Dar Williams Family Lyrics

Family Lyrics




Can you fix this? It's a broken heart. 
It was fine, but it just fell
apart. 
It was mine, but now I give it to you, 
Cause you can fix it, you
know what to do. 

Let your love cover me, 
Like a pair of angel wings,

You are my family, 
You are my family. 

We stood outside in the
summer rain, 
Different people with a common pain. 
A simple box in that
hard red clay, 
Where we left him to always remain. 

Let your love
cover me, 
Like a pair of angel wings, 
You are my family, 
You are my
family. 

The child who played with the moon and stars, 
Waves a snatch
of hay in a common barn, 
In the lonely house of Adam's fall 
Lies a
child, it's just a child that's all, crying 

Let your love cover me,

Like a pair of angel wings, 
You are my family, 
You are my family.
