Daughters and Sons

Poison Girls

When you wake up sweating
 Sweating from a dream
 From a dream you had the night before
 And you're feeling old
 And you feel the cold
 From a draught that's coming
 through your door
 And your daughter's shining
 Shining like the sun
 Like the sun that's streaming
 through your door
 And you wonder who it is
 Wonder who or what it is
 That has put a foot in your door

 And your son has gone out
 Yes he's gone out hunting
 With the man who was your brother
 And your daughter's lying
 Lying on the bed
 With the man who was your lover
 And you're feeling old
 And you feel the cold
 From a draught that's coming
 through your door
 And you wonder who it is
 Wonder who or what it is
 That has put a foot in your door

 And your daughter's gone out
 Yes she's gone out dancing
 With the one who was your lover
 And she's picked up all your songs
 All the songs you ever sang
 And she's picked up plenty more
 And you're feeling old
 And you feel the cold
 From a draught that's coming
 through your door
 And you wonder who it is
 Wonder who or what it is
 That has put a foot in your door
 Daughters and sons-

 Daughters and sons-

 Daughters and sons-
 there are new songs to sing
 Daughters and sons-
 sing your own songs
