Lyrics Father Of Mine - Everclear

Father Of Mine

Father of mine
Tell me where have you been.
You know I just close my eyes
My whole world disappears.
Father of mine
Take me back to the day
Yeah when I was still your golden Boy
Back before you went away.
I remember blue skies
Walking the block
I loved it when you held me high
I love to hear you talk.
You would take me to the movies
You would take me to the beach
You would take me to a place inside
That was so hard to reach.
Father of mine,
Tell me where did you go?
Yeah, you had the world inside Your hands, 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 5-dollar bill.
Yeah, I never understood you Dad
And I guess I never will.
Dad, he gave me a name.
My dad he gave me a name,
And he walked away.
Dad, he gave me a name
And he walked away.
My dad he gave me a name.
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Dad, he gave me a name.
Dad, he gave me a name,
And he walked away.
Dad, he gave me a name,
And he walked away.
My dad he gave me a name.
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Father of mine,
Tell me where have you been.
Yeah, I just close my eyes
And the world disappear.
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 sane,
I will never be sane.
I will always be weird inside,
I will always be lame.
Now I’m a grown man,
With a child of my own,
And I swear I’m not gonna let her Know all the pain I’ve known.
Then he walked away.
Dad, he gave me a name,
Then he walked away.
My dad he gave me name a name,
Then he walked away.
My dad he gave me a name.
(Then he walked away), yeah.
(Then he walked away), yeah.
(Then he walked away), oh yeah
