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
