Father Of Mine Lyrics
[00:01.24] Father of mine
[00:03.49] Tell me where have you been?
[00:05.69] You know I just closed my eyes
[00:08.13] My whole world disappeared
[00:11.00] Father of mine
[00:13.06] Take me back to the day
[00:15.59] Yeah, when I was still your golden boy
[00:18.27] Back before you went away
[00:20.99] I remember blue skies walking the block
[00:25.64] I loved it when you held me high
[00:28.10] I loved to hear you talk
[00:30.61] You would take me to the movie
[00:33.09] You would take me to the beach
[00:35.91] Take me to a place inside
[00:38.02] That's so hard to reach
[00:39.56]
[00:48.80] Oh
[00:50.73] Father of mine
[00:52.85] Tell me where did you go?
[00:55.20] Yeah, you had the world inside your hand
[00:57.62] But you did not seem to know
[01:00.52] Father of mine
[01:02.65] Tell me what do you see?
[01:05.03] When you look back at your wasted life
[01:07.46] And you don't see me
[01:09.90] I was ten years old
[01:12.49] Doin' all that I could
[01:14.95] Wasn't easy for me to be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood
[01:20.08] Sometimes you would send me a birthday card with a five dollar bill
[01:24.89] Yeah, I never understood you then
[01:27.35] And I guess I never will
[01:31.94] Daddy gave me a name
[01:36.64] My daddy gave me a name
[01:39.84] (Then he walked away)
[01:41.74] Daddy gave me a name
[01:44.48] (Then he walked away)

[02:31.58] Tell me where have you been?
[02:34.00] Yeah, I just closed by eyes
[02:36.50] And the world disappeared
[02:39.26] Father of mine
[02:41.23] Tell me how do you sleep?
[02:44.06] With the children you abandoned
[02:46.52] And the wife I saw you beat
[02:48.65] I will never be safe
[02:51.45] I will never be sane
[02:53.78] I will always be weird inside
[02:56.47] I will always be lame
[02:58.56] Now I'm a grown man
[03:01.17] With a child of my own
[03:03.56] And I swear, I'll never let her know
[03:06.32] All the pain I have known
[03:20.61] Daddy gave me a name
