Father Please

Daddy, please don't go I couldn't face this lonely world without you Father, please don't go I couldn't walk this mortal coil without you here Daddy, please don't go I couldn't face this lonely world without you Father, please don't go I couldn't walk this mortal coil Through these dark and empty streets Past the strangers with their secrets wrapped around them like a cloak I long for you you In the silence of their grief, in the sadness in their eyes I creep around these broken walls and long for you Daddy, please don't go I couldn't face this lonely world without you Father, please don't go I couldn't walk this mortal coil I move past a man without a face Who turns away as though my touch would be the thing to bring him down Oh, so down As he starts to disappear I think I hear him call my name and whisper, "Daughter, don't you understand by now?" Even as I walk these quiet streets, you call to me Even as I walk these tired feet, you speak to me Daddy, please don't go I couldn't face this lonely world without you Father, please don't go I couldn't walk this mortal coil without you here Daddy, please don't go I couldn't face this lonely world without you Father, please don't go I couldn't walk this mortal coil without you
