Heritage Lyrics

On the day that my dear father died
He left me nothing in his will
But before he died
He called me to his side
He was lying very still

Take this ring my only Son
And remember when I'm gone
The tradition you must satisfy
The heritage must go on when you die
When you die now...

But the days grew bad as I grew older
I had to sell the ring one day
Realising what I'd done I never told my Son
I had to hide my guilt some way

Now the world is cold and grey around me
I know I haven't long to go
In case you're wondering
I bought another ring
Now you're the only ones to know

Take this ring my only Son
And remember when I'm gone
The tradition you must satisfy
The heritage must go on when you die
When you die now...
