THE WATERBOYS - FATHER lyrics

rate me

Oh father, what happened to you

did you have more urgent affairs to attend to?

Did business press, or did you just get bored

thrown half your life through a one way door?

Sometimes it scares me, look in the mirror

and see myself growing up looking like you

No I don't have much time to waste getting worried

I've got more urgent affairs of my own to attend to

Father, what happened to you

haven't seen you in a whole decade

Did you ever learn, did you ever grow up

are you still as weak, do I make you feel afraid?

Do you tell your friends there's a son somewhere?

Did you ever wonder how he looks?

Did anyone ever give you my number?

Say here's two pence 'cos my phone's off the hook
