Of Missing Persons

	作词 : Browne
	Your father was a rounder
	He played that rock and roll
	A leaper and a bounder
	Down to his gypsy soul
	The music was his angel
	And sorrow was his star
	And those of us who follow
	Might hope to reach as far
	They're walking slow in houston
	Speechless in d.c.
	There's no way i could tell you
	What he meant to me
	Your mother's a survivor
	She'll do what must be done
	Her children will revive her
	And help her see the sun
	She almost knew that unison
	But the singing stopped too soon
	Now she shares the silence
	With a man up in the moon
	To speak of missing persons
	Tonight there's only one
	And we all carry with us what the man's begun
	And you can sing this song
	On july the fourth
	In the sunny south and the frozen north
	It's a day of loss, it's your day of birth
	Does it take a death to learn what a life is worth?
	Your brothers are all older
	And they'll take it in their stride
	The world's a little colder
	But manhood's on their side
	Now you're the little girl-child
	And you look so much like him
	And he's right there inside you
	Each time you want to sing
	Sing of missing persons
	Tonight there's only one
	But he's where you can find him when it's said and done
	And we will sing this song
	On july the fourth
	From the sunny south and the frozen north
	This will always be your day of birth
	May you always see what your life is worth
