lyrics

After the long day and the courageous display
You came, you came
Sand beneath my feet, my family proceeds
No blame, no blame
Cameras appear, the media is here

It's okay dad, you can't hug a photograph
Son you've always been my best invention

The man with the contract, his prominence intact
Has come, has come
Look in the boy's bag, the marbles that he had
Are gone, are gone

There will be no signing today
There will be no signing tomorrow
There will be no signing forever
