[Verse 1]
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.
And there's no way I could tell you
What he meant to me
[Verse 2]
Your mother's a survivor
And 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
And 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
Your father was a rounder
