[00:00.86] Dad I know you were sad when you died
[00:07.15] And I was young it's the way I kept you in my mind
[00:17.13] The mess that was left and my mother cried
[00:22.89] And when she stood up she was nobody's mother
[00:27.14] I'd be fine
[00:30.56] But I missed you then
[00:32.81] And I miss you now
[00:35.09] Liked you'd missed things I might say
[00:39.55] You're still lost in clouds but I'm older now
[00:43.95] I can see through lifting haze
[00:49.39] That you were away even when you were here
[01:03.93] Sometimes a phrase or a manner that's you
[01:09.28] Comes through me, it goes in a flash
[01:12.32] It's a frame, it's a blink like life
[01:18.81] Oh and how much now should we pay for the past
[01:25.48] Cause you could age with grace if I freed you in my mind
[01:33.52] But I loved you then
[01:35.15] And I love you now
[01:37.55] All the things I wished I'd asked
[01:42.19] When I'm lost in clouds
[01:44.39] I remember how I was robbed and I was blessed
[01:52.08] And you were away even when you were here
[01:58.16] Cause it's not about you, not you, anymore
[02:07.40] It's about what I'd do with it all
[02:13.91] And I, I'll never let you let me down
[02:39.44] This morning I wake to be older than you were
[02:45.54] Flash I'll smell for miles, every footstep would be mine
[02:52.69] You'd have lost that weight, you'd have gone so straight
[02:56.95] You'd have made my wedding day
[03:01.47] You'd have saved my youth from that point of truth
[03:05.86] You'd have kept those wolves at bay
[03:11.12] But you were away, you were away even when you were here
