Family ties and all of our strangeness
But there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces

I can picture your driveway
I remember the house upon the hill
Hear the rain falling on tinned roof (Hey, hey)
All the trees that have woven
In and out of your bedroom, and the hole
Brought the light that you made around you

Time stopped
In the space between your breathing
Caught up
In the sounds the house was making

Family ties and all of our strangeness (Hey, hey)
But there's love in your eyes
It breaks me to pieces (Hey, hey)
And the sun won't go down on all of your memories (hey, hey)
You know we got, we got these
(We got, we got these)
We got these family ties (Hey, hey)

I remember your stories
I can picture the garden that you grew
How we spoke when you passed on through
I still think of your kindness
And the way that your hair would tumble down
All the people who lent on you

'Cause time stopped
Like it left you in the sixties
Caught up
In a life outside the city

Family ties and all of our strangeness (Hey, hey)
But there's love in your eyes
It breaks me to pieces (Hey, hey)
And the sun won't go down on all of your memories (Hey, hey)
You know we got, we got these
(We got, we got these)
We got these family ties (Hey, hey)

No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down
No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down
No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down
No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down

We got these family ties and all of our strangeness
But there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces
And the sun won't go down on all of your memories
You know we got, we got these
(We got, we got these)
We got these family ties

(Hey, hey)
La da da da da (Hey, hey)
We got we got these
We got these family ties (Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
We got, we got, we got, we got these
We got, we got these
We got these family ties
