Nina simone, gilbert o'sullivan<br><br>I remember this afternoon<br>When my sister came into the room<br>She refused to say how my father was<br>But I knew he'd be dying soon.<br><br>And I was oh so glad, and it was oh so sad<br>That I realized that I despised this man I once called father.<br>In his hanging on, with fingers clutching<br>His body now just eighty-eight pounds<br>Blinded eyes still searching<br>For some distant dream that had faded away at the seams.<br>Dying alone, naturally.<br><br>I was his favourite child, I had him a little while<br>Just as long as I could play the piano and smile a little smile<br>Just when I needed him most, he was already a ghost<br>And for all my life there where promises and they always have been broken<br><br>Leaving me alone with all my troubles<br>Not ever once touching me and saying<br>Daugther, I'll help you get over.<br>Now he's fadig away and I'm glad to say,<br>He's dying at last. naturally.<br><br>It's a very sad thing to see that my mother with all her heart<br>Believes the words that the Bible said til death do us two part.<br>For her that was forever and ay, he decided her night and day<br>How could some english words so small affect someone so strangely? <br><br>Taking her away from us, her soul included<br>She might es well be gone with him, all the children are excluded.<br>Loneliness is hell, I know so well,<br>For I'm alone. naturally.<br><br>I waited three weeks for him to die<br>I waited three weeks for him to die<br>Every night he was calling on me<br>I wouldn't go to him.<br>I waited three weeks for him to die<br>Three weeks for him to die.<br><br>And after he died, after he died<br>Every night I went out, every night I had a flight.<br>It didn't matter who it was with<br>'cos I knew what it was about.<br>And if you could read between lines, my dad and I close as flies.<br>I loved him then and I loved him still, that's why my heart's so broken.<br><br>Leaving me to doubt God in his mercy<br>And if he really does exist then why does he desert me? <br>When he passed away I smoked and drank all day,<br>Alone. again. naturally.
