Father Of Mine (Re-Recorded)

歌詞

Father of mine Tell me where have you been You know I just close my eyes My whole world disappeared Father of mine Take me back to the day Yeah, when I was still your golden boy Back before you went away I remember blue skies Walking the block I loved it when you held me high I loved to hear you talk You would take me to the movies You would take me to the beach Take me to a place inside That was so hard to reach Father of mine Tell me where did you go You had the world inside your hand But you did not seem to know Father of mine Tell me what do you see When you look back at your wasted life And you don't see me I was ten years old Doing all that I could It wasn't easy for me To be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood Sometimes you would send me a birthday card With a five dollar bill Yeah, I never understood you then And I guess I never will Daddy gave me a name My daddy gave me a name Then he walked away Daddy gave me a name Then he walked away My daddy gave me a name Daddy gave me a name My daddy gave me a name Then he walked away Daddy gave me a name Then he walked away My daddy gave me a name Yeah, yeah, oh yeah Father of mine Tell me where have you been I just close my eyes And the world disappeared Father of mine Tell me how do you sleep With the children you abandoned And the wife I saw you beat I will never be safe I will never be sane I will always be weird inside I will always be lame Now I'm a grown man With a child of my own And I swear that im not gonna let her know All the pain I have known Then he walked away Daddy gave me a name Then he walked away My daddy gave me a name Then he walked away My daddy gave me a name Then he walked away My daddy gave me a name Then he walked away Then he walked away Then he walked away
