Family Names Testo

Walking amongst those graves I stumbled upon yoursYour brother being laid to rest just next door
All those family names and all those people who
I bear resemblance to.
At the edge of that field there❝s a break in the trees
Where you can hop onto the train tracks
Follow them where they lead
all along the coast and out of black cape
You can go a long way
Land call us home
Let❝s gather round
Let❝s tell the stories that remind us
of where we❝re all from
Let❝s sing the songs that our parents sang
Bring us all together
With those family names
Harry said he didn❝t know this place anymore
Changed the lay of the land, cut into the shore
The water❝s not even fit for swimming these days
From the paper mill on the bay
There❝s a sold sign in the yard of Aunt Doris❝ house
I guess at her age it❝s too much by herself
Still the rhubarb grows behind the garage
And she❝s busy cooking for us all
As of old, every new generation has to leave this place
Head out into the world to find work that❝ll pay
We❝re all drawn back here inevitably
By the land and the sea
