Everclear - Father Of Mine lyrics

Father of mine<br>Tell me where have you been<br>You know I just closed my eyes<br>My whole world disappeared<br>Father of mine<br>Take me back to the day<br>When I was still your golden boy<br>Back before you went away<br><br>I remember blue skies<br>Walking the block<br>I loved it when you held me high<br>I loved to hear you talk<br>You would take me to the movie<br>You would take me to the beach<br>You would take me to a place inside<br>That is so hard to reach<br><br>Father of mine<br>Tell me where did you go<br>You had the world inside your hand<br>But you did not seem to know<br>Father of mine<br>Tell me what do you see<br>When you look back at your wasted life<br>And you don't see me<br><br>I was ten years old<br>Doing all that I could<br>It wasn't easy for me<br>To be a scared white boy<br>In a black neighborhood<br>Sometimes you would send me a birthday card<br>With a five dollar bill<br>I never understood you then<br>And I guess I never will<br><br>Daddy gave me a name<br>My dad he gave me a name<br>Then he walked away<br>Daddy gave me a name<br>Then he walked away<br>My daddy gave me a name<br><br>Daddy gave me a name<br>Daddy gave me a name<br>Then he walked away<br>Daddy gave me a name<br>Then he walked away<br>My daddy gave me a name<br><br>Father of mine<br>Tell me where have you been<br>I just closed my eyes<br>And the world disappeared<br>Father of mine<br>Tell me how do you sleep<br>With the children you abandoned<br>And the wife I saw you beat<br><br>I will never be safe<br>I will never be sane<br>I will always be weird inside<br>I will always be lame<br>Now I'm a grown man<br>With a child of my own<br>And I swear I'm not going to let her know<br>All the pain I have known<br><br>Then he walked away<br>Daddy gave me a name<br>Then he walked away<br>My dad gave me a name<br>Then he walked away<br>My daddy gave me a name<br>Then he walked away<br>My daddy gave me a name<br>Then he walked away<br>Then he walked away<br>Then he walked away
