What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Old man, I heard some things about the boy you used to be.
2
No father, no king, just a broken old man broken by the whiskey.
3
Too afraid to stay, too smart to not leave,
4
Too young to be a bird who forgot to sing,
5
And a ground that never knew the knees
6
Of a boy and his own tale of two cities.
7
"Sometimes a man breaks, sometimes he can't bend
8
When his youth is a wound time won't mend.
9
(never the best of times)
10
Sometimes a man breaks, sometimes he can't bend
11
At the thought of peace as something only lent.
12
(only the worst of mine)
13
Sometimes a man breaks, sometimes he can't bend
14
When his son is another one who won't understand":
15
The Irish temper, it's history's chains,
16
And the bottle's stain that just won't wash away.
17
But a seed was planted in the sod of nothingness from which you came,
18
And flowers grew and roses bloomed
19
To form this garden of a life you've made.
20
And in this city you once knew as hell
21
Is a garden where I enjoy myself.
22
And in this father I hardly know
23
Was a son who took back what the bottle stole
24
So I could be the boy you couldn't be
25
Have the father you didn't get to see
26
Have the youth you did not get to live
27
Or feel the love this world forgot to give.
28
And for this gift I don't deserve to get
29
I'll make damn sure I earn this.
30
"o' your friends say boston's beautiful,
31
But they didn't live here, they didn't die here
32
In the Hyde Park years.
33
O' your friends say boston's beautiful,
34
But they didn't live hard, they didn't die hard
35
When sons dragged out their fathers from bars.
36
O' your friends say boston's beautiful,
37
But they didn't dream here, they didn't scream here
38
When no one hears.
39
O' your friends say boston's beautiful,
40
But they didn't hide here, they didn't cry here
41
When little boys weren't allowed to she'd their tears. "
42
There just aren't enough men like you.
