My Father The Jeweller by The Tycho Brahe (IRE) Lyrics

My father is a jeweller
He makes rings
And if I ask him what does a ring mean
He cannot tell me
Because a band of gold does not make you whole
And it will not keep you with me
We have only love, only love
Hold onto it

My mother gave her life's blood
For all of us
And if I ask her what did you do that for
She will tell me
That a band of gold is all that holds
Life and soul together
We have only love, only love
Hold onto it

I am never alone because I have thеm with me
Flesh and bone, еverything I would not be or would be
And I only see, I only see
Love
Hold them fast
Make it last

And then the swallows came, sad swallows with wet wings
And the endless rain that washed through every ring
When your heart closed down did it lock me out or in?
I know you can't give me anything
You can't give me

Hold them fast
Make it last
Hold onto it
