Dar Williams - Family lyrics

It was fine, but it just fell apart

It was mine but now I give it to you

Cause you can fix it, you know what to do

Let your love cover me

Like a pair of angel wings

You are my family

You are my family

You stood outside in the summer rain

Different people with a common pain

A simple box in that hard red clay

Is where we left you to always remain

Let your love cover me

Like a pair of angel wings

You are my family

You are my family

A child who played with the moon and stars

Waves a snatch of hate in a common bar

In a lonely house of Adam?s fall

Lies a child, he?s just a child that?s all

Crying?

Let your love cover me

Like a pair of angel wings

You are my family

You are my family

You are my family

You are my family
