She's got a heartache and I've got a burden
She sings of angles behind door and curtain
Is there time for mothers anymore
Is blood still thicker then water?
I've got stories alive in my memories
And over supper I'll share what I can of these
Is there time for brothers anymore
Is blood still thicker then water?
I turned around with a bag in my hand
I was just a young man
My father he said to me, come back when you can
She's go a life she's worked so hard to get
Makes a good wife, a doctor and a friend
Is blood still thicker then water?
All that I know I learned in part from him
Taught me to play, to love and to sing
Is there time for fathers anymore
Is blood still thicker then water?
