Backbone and All
| [Verse 1] Dad’s the bridge Steady and straight Mum’s the path Winding but great He’s the hammer She’s the nail Both keep the ship from setting sail [Prechorus] And when the winds howl through the trees She’s the roots Holding steady with ease [Chorus] If Dad is the backbone Mum’s all the other bones Every one From the toes to the crown Keeping it up Keeping us sound [Verse 2] She’s the laughter on a quiet day The blanket when the cold won’t stay away He’s the lock She’s the key Together they’re a whole symphony [Prechorus] And when the storm shakes every door She’s the calm The heart at the core [Chorus] If Dad is the backbone Mum’s all the other bones Every one From the toes to the crown Keeping it up Keeping us sound |
