Daughters Lyrics

On the streets where the streetcars
Are squeaking through the morning
The flags that are raised start to wave
Goodbye to the old people gathered by warnings
I stand on the corner and feel like a foreigner
Oh, far from the sparkling blue water
Where the fish and the canvases play
And the waves are as calm as my father
And the daughters are dancing all day
In the house where the housewares
Are thrown out the window
And soap opera dreams they do scream
And the people inside can′t decide
Where they will go, for the track it is wrong
And the train it is long
Oh, far from the sparkling blue water
Where the fish and the canvases play
And the waves are as calm as my father
And the daughters are dancing all day
All the diamonds are packed
Back behind in the redwoods
In the Japanese freighters back home
But I won't cut that tree
Till I′m sure that it's dead wood
And the last leaf has fallen
And summer is gone
Oh, far from the sparkling blue water
Where the fish and the canvases play
And the waves are as calm as my father
And the daughters are dancing all day
And the daughters are dancing all day
Oh
The daughters are dancing all day
