Father Please - Freshlyground

Daddy please don’t go- I couldn’t face this lonely world without you

Father please don’t go- I couldn’t walk this mortal coil without you here

Through these dark and empty streets

Past the strangers with their secrets wrapped around them like a cloak;

I long for you

In the silence of their grief in the sadness in their eyes

I creep around these broken walls and call for you

Daddy please don’t go

I couldn’t face this lonely world without you

Father please don’t go

I couldn’t walk this mortal coil…

I move past a man without a face

Who turns away as though my touch would be the thing to bring him down,

oh so down

As he starts to disappear

I think I hear him call my name and whisper, «Daughter, don’t you understand by

now?»

Even as I walk these quiet streets you call to me

Even as I walk these tired feet you speak to me
