歌曲歌詞
Dad I know you were sad when you died
And I was young
It’s the way I kept you in my mind
The mess that was left and my mother cried
And when she stood up
She was nobody’s mother I’d be fine
But I missed you then
And I miss you now
Liked you’d missed things I might say
You’re still lost in clouds
But I’m older now
I can see through lifting haze
That you were away
Even when you were here
Sometimes a phrase or a manner that’s you
Comes through me
It goes in a flash
It’s a frame it’s a blink like life
Oh and how much
Now should we pay for the past
’Cause you could age
With grace if I freed you in my mind
But I loved you then
And I love you now
All the things I wished I’d asked
When I’m lost in clouds
I remember how
I was robbed and I was blessed
And you were away
Even when you were here
’Cause it’s not about you
Not you anymore
It’s about what I’d do with it all
And I I’ll never let you let me down
This morning
I wake to be older than you were
Flash I’ll smell
For miles very footstep would be mine
You’d have lost that weight
You’d have gone so straight
You’d have made my wedding day
You’d have saved my youth
From that point of truth
You’d have kept those wolves at bay
But you were away
You were away even when you were here
