Father of Mine

[00:01.28] Father of mine
[00:03.34] Tell me, where have you been?
[00:05.72] You know I just closed my eyes
[00:08.22] My whole world disappeared
[00:11.18] Father of mine
[00:13.27] Take me back to the day
[00:15.74] Yeah, when I was still your golden boy
[00:18.27] Back before you went away
[00:21.05] I remember blue skies, walking the block
[00:25.84] I loved it when you held me high, I loved to hear you talk
[00:30.60] You would take me to the movie
[00:33.17] You would take me to the beach
[00:35.81] Take me to a place inside that is so hard to reach
[00:41.52]
[00:48.87] Oh, father of mine
[00:52.73] Tell me, where did you go?
[00:55.28] Yeah, you had the world inside your hand
[00:57.71] But you did not seem to know
[01:00.54] Father of mine
[01:02.62] Tell me, what do you see?
[01:05.11] When you look back at your wasted life
[01:07.66] And you don't see me
[01:09.86] I was ten years old doin' all that I could
[01:15.05] Wasn't easy for me to be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood
[01:19.81] Sometimes you would send me a birthday card with a five dollar bill
[01:24.97] Yeah, I never understood you then and I guess I never will
[01:31.92] Daddy gave me a name
[01:36.69] My daddy gave me a name

[02:34.18] Yeah, I just closed my eyes
[02:36.61] And the world disappeared
[02:39.33] Father of mine
[02:41.44] Tell me, how do you sleep?
[02:43.94] With the children you abandoned
[02:46.51] And the wife I saw you beat
[02:48.85] I will never be safe
[02:51.48] I will never be sane
[02:53.93] I will always be weird inside
[02:56.46] I will always be lame
[02:58.55] Now I'm a grown man
[03:01.29] With a child of my own
[03:03.62] And I swear, I'm not gonna let her know
[03:06.36] All the pain I have known
[03:15.41]
