Daughters and sons

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