I Can't Reach Him

Got a wife and kids in England Got a house just off the route Got a three acre garden But only one decent suit I never wear it in the summer It's too heavy when it warm But I'll wear that suit on Sunday to see my father He think's it keeps me out of harm He thinks it keeps me out of harm But I cannot reach him Don't even know what he has been through No I cannot reach him Nor all the years that have been lost Nor all the money that I have cost him Nor all the borders that we've failed to cross I can't reach him now Got a photo of my hero He signed it once in London town He won't remember that he signed it He was laying on the ground I got it framed for fifty dollars Hung it on my wall so proud And every day I see that picture and I think of him And all the nights we laughed out loud, All the times we laughed out loud But I cannot reach him Don't even know what he has been through No I cannot reach him Nor all the years that have been lost Nor all the money that I have cost him Nor all the borders that we've failed to cross I can't reach him now
