about
"Never played live. Never will play live. I’m not even sure we really practiced this as a complete song. If I recall correctly, mostly figured out in the studio. Wild."
lyrics
Well darling I regret
I hadn’t called you yet
See I’m dealing with this mess
And I must get things off my chest
What this son’s son believes
His 3 sisters won’t agree
But their poor fathers death
Is only one less life to grieve
Well how can I respect this man
Whose eyes I can never meet
And in those eyes a bastard’s made a bastard out of me
Well how can I respect someone
Who would look upon his only son
As only a failure for the things he'd never done
Well I’m standing in the dark
In this living room
That my father threw me out when I was 22
Now I must pay my dues to the father that I never knew
Well darling I regret
That i ain’t coming home just yet
I’m up to my neck in this great deal of debt
And my mothers tries to explain
How he loved me just the same
Well I think that's awful strange
When all I felt was pain
And how can I respect him who
Who thought of me as no more than a seed
And now this seed must bury him and tend his dying need
And once he is laid to rest
And I’ve paid off all his debt
I will pay my last respect
Explaining dad ‘Your son has set’
Through the night, all that shone
That heavy hearts, they sink like stone
And I’m scared that I’ll wind up alone
So please my love, stay on the phone
Shined upon a family light
Where everything is dark inside
I swear my love I’ll make it home
If it takes all night
