Daddy’s Tune

[Verse 1]

Well a dirty wind blows through the sky

And the autumn leaves cut loose and fly

Leave me watching

And wishing I could follow

Though among the regrets that I can't get by

There are just one or two

Unkind things I said to you

Daddy what was I supposed to do?

I don't know why it was so hard to talk to you

I guess my anger pulled me through

[Verse 2]

No sooner had I hit the streets

When I met the fools that a young fool meets

All in search of truth and bound for glory

And listening to our own heart beats

We stood around the drum

Though it's fainter now

The older I become

Living your life day after day

Soon all your plans and changes

Either fail or fade away

Leaving so much still left to say

[Chorus]

But Daddy I want to let you know somehow

The things you said are so much clearer now

And I would turn the pages back

But time will not allow

The way these days just rip along

Too fast to last, too vast, too strong

[Post-Chorus]

Somewhere something went wrong

Or maybe we forgot the song

Make room for my forty-fives

Along beside your seventy-eights

Nothing survives

But the way we live our lives
