WHAT WILL WE TELL THEM

Barry Dransfield


How can we tell their pretty faces
For him no task
For her no laces
That the love songs die
Even the mountains cry

    What will we tell them?
    What will we tell them?

Watch your footsteps
Don't go straying
Is that how we have to treat him?
He wants to love in the dark
How can you damp that spark?

    What will we tell them?
    What will we tell them?

She will grow into a woman
Will you tell her to stop dreaming
Of caressing her lover?
Inside her there's a mother

    What will we tell them?
    What will we tell them?
    That the love songs die
    Even the mountains cry

    What will we tell them?
    What will we tell them?
