Family ties and all of our strangeness
But there's love in your eyes
It breaks me to pieces

I can picture your driveway
I remember the house up on the hill
Hear the rain falling on tinned roof (hey, hey)
All the trees that had woven
In and out of your bedroom and the hall
Wrapped the life that you'd made 'round you

Time stopped in the space between your breathing
Caught up in the sounds the house was making

Family ties and all of our strangeness (hey, hey, hey, hey)
But there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces (hey, hey, hey, hey)
And the sun won't go down on all of your memories (hey, hey, hey, hey)
You know, we got, we got these (we got, we got these)
We got these family ties

I remember your stories
I can picture the garden that you grew
How we spoke when you passed on through
I still think of your kindness
And the way that your hair would tumble down
All the people who leant on you

Time stopped like it left you in the '60s
Caught up in a life outside the city

Family ties and all of our strangeness (hey, hey, hey, hey)
But there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces (hey, hey, hey, hey)
And the sun won't go down on all of your memories (hey, hey, hey, hey)
You know, we got, we got these (we got, we got these)
We got these family ties

No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down
No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down
No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down
No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down

We got these family ties and all of our strangeness (hey, hey, hey, hey)
But there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces (hey, hey, hey, hey)
And the sun won't go down on all of your memories (hey, hey, hey, hey)
You know we got, we got these (we got, we got these)
We got these family ties (hey, hey, hey, hey)
La la la da da (hey, hey)
(We got, we got these) We got these family ties (hey, hey, hey, hey)
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got these (hey, hey)
We got these family ties
