  1. Father Song

From the recording Father Song

Lyrics

 
I’ll say a little prayer
for your father tonight
as he struggles to breathe
through the dark and the light
 
what colors will he know
when he passes on through
to the other side
from me and you?
 
I’ll say a little prayer 
for your father tonight
 
I’m going out West
to the desert sun
where the lakes are dry
and the rivers are run
 
and down in the sand
I will bury your heart
and scatter your name
to the winds apart
 
I’m going out West
to the desert sun
 
I’m playing this song
just to mark the pain
and wrap it up
in words so plain
 
what offerings
we seek to bring
when all we do
is sing and sing?
 
I’m playing this song
just to mark the pain
 
Oh what is a man worth
when he’s swallowed by time
and his bones laid to rest
in shadows of rhyme?
