Daddy Always

Whenever soft footfalls come bounding
When I think I'm alone
Daddy's hair looks mussed, I'm counting
On you, you know
Daddy always comes home on time
And he always hugs me goodnight
Daddy always comes home to me
And he always comes home
The fake fireplace knows I'm commonplace
And I can't face mommy's ace
And she knows I'm a lie
They're just credit cards and debtors are in all of us
In god we trust
Ash to ash and bicycles to rust
Bikes to rust
Daddy always comes home on time
And he always hugs me goodnight
Daddy always comes home to me
And he always comes home
Tie shoes tightly, we're gonna run
When mommy finds out what daddy's done
The marina's full of character so stay close
Hold daddy's hand, there's daddy's boat
Oh, she'll never love him
She's miles above him
He wears too many bowties
No, I wasn't bluffing
See the sails are luffing
Pull the halyard 'til the boat flies
Set fire to that photo
I never should have told
Oh, liars can't relax
Hear the waves lap gently
The foggy bay is empty
Ah, we won't be coming back
We won't be coming back
