Love to Fathers Lyrics

A boy licks the pole, on the subway car

His dad grabs his head, and rests it on his lap

Kid keeps on squirming, he wants to get right back

But then falls asleep, in his dads great grasp

I love my dad even though I can't call him back

A man who can't walk, goes to the gym with his dad

Old man lifts him to machines and wipes the sweat off his back

A dad who's lost a boy, is the loneliest guy

A boy who has to hide, becomes great at goodbyes

Dad used to burn boys hands on the stovetop

Now boy cooks warm food for his baby Santiago

Santiago's dad is now sick, boy helps him find good doctors

Dad's going to be okay, they still live with each other

I love my dad even though I can't call him back

Your soul assuaged by mine, fall in my arms tonight

I'm always asking why, my eyes, are so dry

You're my baby boy and I, will teach you how to cry

I'll never reach my climb, but I won't, ever, say goodbye.
