History Lessons Lyrics - Dinosaur Feathers

There must be something in the signs we're reading 

There must be something in the story of our history 

When will you start to take the time you're needing? 

When will I start to heed the lessons of my history? 

Well, I saw it coming 

Them knocking down the windows when all that you wanted was someone to wake you in the morning 

Do you still wear the robes of all the dreams you wove or do you cast them aside when you're through? 

I've been waiting for the answer 

I slept in the shadow of your father 

I saw his work and I don't want his history 

Well you sought the counsel of your mother 

You heard her stories and you saw your history 

And she still remembers 

Them knocking down the windows when all that she wanted was someone to hold her when the night came 

Does she still wear the robes of all the dreams she wove or does she cast them aside when she's through? 

I've been waiting for the answer
