My father's never waiting by the window Watching as his life goes by He gets right in there with both hands and gets dirty He'll be that way until he dies My father never gave me a curfew This is just what he'd say, he said "Always wear your runners in the night time So you can just run, run away" My father's life was never ever easy But he always made it look that way He would take me to shoot arrows in the forest And he told me that he loved me every day My father's never waiting by the window Watching as his life goes by
