Story Behind The Song

Never got to really know my father

Song Description

Estranged relationship with my father who left when I was eight.

Lyrics

I got the news about a week ago
My daddy died without a fight
Found in a cold abandoned tenement
He died in the night
Dead in the night

Down through the years I never knew him well
Who knows what's in a man's mind
His private wars he fought within himself
But what did he find
Was he so blind
Was he so blind
Was he so blind

He wrote some words upon a window pane
For anyone who'd come along
"My life is one long bitter memory"
"And I can't go on"
"I don't belong"

There was a letter that was never mailed
He wrote it with his dying hand
His words will always be a mystery
Selfish old man
Don't understand
Don't understand
Don't understand

Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be li-i-i-i-ight
