"Going About My Father's Business" lyrics - PAUL KELLY
PAUL KELLY
"Going About My Father's Business"
Standing in the darkness watching while you sleep
I can hear you softly breathing while I creep
Going about my father's business
Doing my father's time
What's done to me I'll do to mine
I woke up one summer morning-he was gone
Soft light through the window breaking for my son
Going about my father's business
Doing my father's time
What's done to me I'll do to mine
Know them by what they do
Let no one speak for you
Just this I beg of you
Forgive me, forgive me
Someday when we sign the treaty I'll be home
War is long and lasts forever and I'm your own
Going about my father's business
Doing my father's time
What's done to me I'll do to mine
What's done to me I'll do to mine
