Текст песни: Surf's Up (The Best Of The Brother Years 1970-1986 (Vol. 3) 2000)

The diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along
To a handsome mannered baton
(Bygone, bygone)
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the op'ra glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn
(Bygone, bygone)

Columnated ruins domino!
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping?

Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
(Bygone, bygone)
The music hall; a costly bow
The music; all is lost for now
To a muted trumpeter swan
(Bygone, bygone)

Columnated ruins domino!
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping, Brother John?
Dove nested towers, the hour was-
Strike the street, quicksilver moon!
Carriage across the fog-
Two-step to lamplight's cellar tune

The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne
The glass was raised, the fired rose
The fullness of the wine, the dim-last toasting

While at port, adieu or die
A choke of grief, heart-hardened I
Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry

Surf's up, aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join the young and often spring you gave
I heard the word, wonderful thing, a children's song:

Child, child, child, child, child
A child is the father of the man
Child, child, child, child, child
A child is the father of the man
A children's song
Have you listened as they played
Their song is love
And the children know the way
That's why the child is the father to the man
Child, child, child, child, child
Child, child, child, child, child
Na na na na na na na na
Child, child, child, child, child
That's why the child is the father to the man
Child, child, child, child, child
