EVERCLEAR - Father Of Mine

EVERCLEAR




Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
You know I just closed my eyes
My whole world disappeared
Father of mine
Take me back to the day
When I was still your golden boy
Back before you went away
I remember the blue skies, walking the block
I loved it when you held me high
I loved to hear you talk
You would take me to the movie
You would take me to the beach
Take me to a place inside that is so hard to reach

Father of mine
Tell me where did you go
You had the world inside your hand
But you did not seem to know
Father of mine
Tell me what do you see
When you look back at your wasted life and you don't see me
I was ten years old
Doing all that I could
It wasn't easy for me to be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood
Sometimes you would send me a birthday card
With a five dollar bill
I never understood you then and I guess I never will

Daddy gave me a name
My dad he gave me a name
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad he gave me a name

(guitar solo)

Daddy gave me a name
Daddy gave me a name
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad he gave me a name
Daddy gave me a name

Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
I just closed my eyes
And the world disappeared
Father of mine
Tell me how do you sleep
With the children you abandoned
And the wife I saw you beat
I will never be safe
I will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
I will always be lame
Now I am a grown man
With a child of my own
And I swear I'm not going to let her know
All the pain I have known

Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad he gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad he gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad he gave me a name
Then he walked away
Then he walked away
Then he walked away

EVERCLEAR - SANTA MONICA

Nº 9 - 1995





* I am still living with your ghost
lonely and dreaming of the west coast
i don't want to be your downtime
i don't want to be your stupid game
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
i do believe i'll find myself a new place
i don't want to be the bad guy
i don't want do your sleepwalk dance anymore
i just want to see some palm trees
i will try and shake away this disease
(chorus)x2
we can live beside the ocean
leave the fire behind
swim out past the breakers
watch the world die
I am stil dreaming of you face
hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
i don't want to be your good time
i don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
insane and rising in my own weird way
i don't want to be the bad guy
i don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to feel some sunshine
i just want to find some place to be alone
Chorus x4
Yeah watch the world die x4
