Stranded In Time

Tradução

The United States Of America

Compositor: Edward Bogas / Gordon Marron Strings

Early in the morning
When the sun is still asleep
Father drinks his cup of coffee
Kisses Mother on the cheek
Off to work he goes
What he does nobody knows
But he's sure to bring home money every week.

Time when he and Mother were young
Now those days are departed
Now he's left brokenhearted
Stranded in time

They dote upon the children
Like some characters in plays
As if nearness to their youngers
Would recall their golden days

And Father sold the looking glass
That once stood in the hall
And now Mother tends to tell the time
By pictures on the wall

Times when she would laugh in his arms
Are now vanished forever
Now they stand close together
Stranded in time
