A diamond necklace played the pawn   Hand in hand some drummed along, oh   To a handsome man and baton   A blind class aristocracy   Back through the opera glass you see   The pit and the pendulum drawn   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   The music hall a costly bow   The music all is lost for now   To a muted trumperter swan   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 lamp lights 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 hard 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
