* Lyrics

Molly Jane

I can still recall your name

And the way you lit the room

When you were born

And how, that day

My entire agenda changed

And all that mattered

Was that you were safe and warm

I left the cradle

Feeling glowing magma love

Drove to work

So I could earn ourselves a life

Climbed each and every ladder

With my head above the matter

Then clocked off at 5 to rejoin paradise

But as I neared the garden gate

Full of excitement to return

To my infant daughter

A woman ran through the estate

And called out: "dad!"

So, silently, I turned towards her

I recognised her straight away

She said:

"I don't know you very well

But I love you

More than anyone loved anybody

Shoot your way up to the stars

And I will hurt"

I said:

"I don't know you very well

And why should I?

I was always in the office

But after all these years

I still recognise you"

I'd barely time to allow my stupid mind

To mourn the childhood I'd let go to waste

Before my eyes, in a moment of surprise

Were jerked by my alarm clock awake

It took some time to realise

That I no longer had a girl

To feed and clothe and water

But, still, I must apologise

I was your distant dad

And you were my fictitious daughter

I don't know you very well

But I love you

More than anyone loved anybody

Shoot your way up to the stars

And I will hurt

I don't know you very well

And why should I?

It's 6 in the morning

After what felt like years

I've had to bid farewell to you

Molly

Molly

Find yourself

I don't know you very well

But I love you

More than anyone loved anybody

Shoot your way up to the stars

And I will hurt

I don't know you very well

And why should I?

'Cos I never really happened

Molly

Molly

Molly

Molly

Molly

Molly

I still think about you

Molly

I still think about you

Molly

I still think about you

Find yourself

I still dream about you
