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
