Father Lyrics

Father we couldn't see

Being stripped of our dignity

You were homeless once

When you had left mom

It's not about the past

Nothing we had did last

Now I write poetry

And mourn death around me

I try to walk the streets

Constantly hoping

But my head is bowed

To the darkened river

I wish I could forget about it all

But the stain of the past remains

Father we couldn't breathe

That last text you sent me

Said you were coming home

But then you didn't come

Father I wish I'd seen your face

Before you passed

I hope the memories sit in ocean garlands of flowers

Father we couldn't breathe

That last text you sent me

Said you were coming home

But then you didn't come

Father I wish I'd seen your face

Before you passed

I hope the memories sit in ocean garlands of flowers
