Posthumous Forgiveness

Ever since I was a small boy No one else compared to you, no way I always thought heroes stayed close Whenever troubled times arose I didn't know, ain't always how it goes Every single word you told me I believed without a question, always To save all of us You told us both to trust But now I know you only saved yourself Did you think I'd never know? Never wise-up as I grow? And you could store an ocean in the Holes in any of the explanations that you gave And while you still had time, you had a chance But you decided to take all your sorry's to the grave Did you think I'd never know? Never wise-up as I grow? Did you hope I'd never doubt? Never one day work it out? You were runnin' for cover Doin' like any other Fallen out with a lover You didn't know that I suffered What a thing to discover If there was time to recover One on one with each other Just a boy and a father What I'd give for another Everything that I have I wouldn't need us for long I'd never speak of the time That you left us alone Me and Steve, on our own I wanna tell you about the time Wanna tell you about my life Wanna play you all my songs Learn the words, sing along Wanna tell you about the time I was in Abbey Road Or the time that I had Mick Jagger on the phone I thought of you when he spoke Wanna tell you about that time Wanna tell you about my life Wanna play you all my songs And hear your voice sing along I wanna say it's alright You're just a man after all And I know you had demons I got some of my own I think you passed them along I wanna tell you about the time Wanna tell you about my life Wanna play you all my songs And hear your voice sing along
