Father... (Live at HMV Canterbury) Lyrics

Okay

I'd like to dedicate this specific performance to someone who is not here with us

This one goes out to my father

This will be a hard one for me, bare with me

Welcome everybody, please take a seat

I know I look a wreck up here, but listen to me

I've got a little message for my old man

Now he's looking down before me, please understand

That I don't like to get so emotional

Now I'm seeing him before me, need him to know

You were a perfect idol, role model too

But because this world ain't perfect, you're gone too soon

Hey father

I hope you hear my voice clear

I know you won't stop and disappear

I need you to know that you did everything right

I owe the world to you, now please rest for the night

But I don't need your help, I don't want to know

How do you think that I should deal with this or how to cope

But I don't need to feel a fragile broken mess

When you want me to push on raising up my own head

Hey father

I hope you hear my voice clear

I know you won't stop and disappear

I need you to know that you did everything right

I owe the world to you, now please rest for the night

You can always live in my heart

The world won't stop for you, but I know you belong

You've got your friends, they're all calling out to you

So go spend some time with Granddad, I'll see you again soon

Hey father

I hope you hear my voice clear

I know you won't stop and disappear

I need you to know that you did everything right

I owe the world to you, now please rest for the night

I hope you hear my voice clear

I hope you won't stop and disappear

I need you to know that you did everything right

Thank you
