Jailbirds

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The sun is rising so late, it's early I have spread myself too thin again The guest of honor at my guilty party Me and this silence have become old friends [Chorus] Father make believe for your daughters Mother take it easy on your sons Sister balance like a tightrope walker But for now you've got to keep them young [Verse 2] My solitude it makes me softer My suffering is not in vain My depression sings, "how much longer Will I have to wait to see a world free from pain?" [Chorus] Father make believe for your daughters Mother take it easy on your sons Sister balance like a tightrope walker But for now you've got to keep them young [Break] [Chorus] Father make believe for your daughters Mother take it easy on your sons Sister balance like a tightrope walker But for now you've got to keep them young Father make believe for your daughters Mother take it easy on your sons Sister balance like a tightrope walker But for now you've got to keep them young
