Dinosaur Feathers - History Lessons lyrics

rate me

There must be something in the signs we're reading

There must be something in the story of our history

When will you start to take the time you're needing?

When will I start to heed the lessons of my history?

Well, I saw it coming

Them knocking down the windows when all that you wanted

was someone to wake you in the morning

Do you still wear the robes of all the dreams you wove

or do you cast them aside when you're through?

I've been waiting for the answer

I slept in the shadow of your father

I saw his work and I don't want his history

Well you sought the counsel of your mother

You heard her stories and you saw your history

And she still remembers

Them knocking down the windows when all that she wanted

was someone to hold her when the night came

Does she still wear the robes of all the dreams she

wove or does she cast them aside when she's through?

I've been waiting for the answer
