Enough For Now

1. The daughter's father watches, quietly we assume
He's not longer with us but he left this dusty room
In your name and it's an honor, it's a shame but it's your honor
Take it on your shoulder 'til you can find another.

[Chorus:]
That's enough for now, he should've never left you broken
He should've held you, things your father never could do
That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken
He would've held you, things your father never told you.

2. The century before you never could turn twenty one
Years and years he waited, just watching for a son
For someone to go ahead and take the name he said
Years and years he waited and a daughter came instead.

[Bridge:]
Breathing comes in pairs, except for twice
One begins and one's goodbye
Sixty years of sorrow, he got five or six of bliss
Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss, as a kiss.

* Sixty years of sorrow, he got five or six of bliss
Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss.
