Oh, My Father |
Oh, my father, I feel so sad |
As I stand upon your grave |
I weep for the things that you never had |
And the past that you never paved |
I’m crying for the things that I never said |
And all the love that I never showed |
For my heart is as deep as the ocean’s bed |
And it took a stone before my love freely flowed |
While my body is young |
And my eyes are old |
With the wisdom |
Of a loved one’s death |
But all my suffering |
And sorrow will turn to gold |
Which I’ll treasure with every breath |
It’s a bitter lesson that I have learned |
Seems a shame it was too late for you |
But the love between us will always be interred |
In a place in my heart built for you |
