You
were a working man,
with eight miles to feed,
and you rose with the dawn.
You were a mystery man,
we were desperate to please
Every daughter and son
Hiding in corners,
I prayed for your smile
You were a forbidden mountain
Through the eyes of a child
Longing to sleep
I smuck cold hand in yours
Face to the window
Always hungry for more
Did you know
How I waited for you
With my unfinished business
Did you know, how I gave up on you
I could not find forgiveness, forgiveness
Daddy
lies
dreaming in a body of stone
With a new kind of silence
His soul is departed,
the flesh and the bone
And I sit down beside him
Slowly he turns
and he searches my face.
I summon a smile and I tell
him my name.
There's mist in his eyes
and there's pain in my grave.
And if he could speak,
it's as if he would say
Did you know how I waited for you
With my unfinished business
Did you know that my heart was true
Now I'm seeking forgiveness
Time slips on by and the
years got away
Daddy, if you hear me,
is it too late to say?
Do you know how much I like you
Always unfinished business
Do you know how much I love you
I'm seeking forgiveness
An d if you know,
if you know me at all,
you know all is forgiven
When you go,
when you answer that call,
go and forgive me
Rest in forgiveness
I'll give you, I'll give you,
I'll give you
Forgiveness
Kill you, kill you,
I'm gonna kill you now,
I'm gonna kill you now,
I'm gonna kill you
Give you love
I'll warm my eyes
And my forgiveness
Give you love
I'm gonna give you love
Give you love
In my sleep, forgiveness
Give you love
Gonna give you love
I'm gonna give you love,
that's my forgiveness
I'm gonna give you love, I promise
I'm gonna give you love
I'll give you my love,
I'll give you my love
