מילים לשיר The Things We've Handed Down – Art Garfunkel

Don't know much about you
We've been doin' fine without
Don't know who you are
But we could only go so far
Were you watching from above
Don't know why you chose us
Is there someone there that knows us
Said we'd give you all our love.
Will you laugh just like your mother
Will some things skip a generation
Will you sigh like your old man Like I've heard they often can. Are you a poet or a dancer
A devil or a clown
Or a strange new combination of The things we've handed down.
Will your hair fall down and curl
I wonder who you'll look like
Will you be a Mama's boy
Will you be a sad reminder
Or Daddy's little girl
Of what's been lost along the way
Maybe you can help me find her
In the things you do and say And these things that we have given you
Oh, but you can thank us later for
They are not so easily found
The things we've handed down
The things we've handed down down,down,down,down,down
You may not always be so grateful
For the way that you were made
That you'd gladly sell or trade
Maybe some feature of your father's
And one day you may look at us
And say that you were cursed
But over time that line has been Extremely well rehearsed.
By our fathers and their fathers
In some old and distant town
From places no one here remebers
come The things we've handed down, down
The things we've handed down
The things we've handed down.
