As violent things
from vibrant dreams
Awaken me
from deadend sleep
And drag me to
my tired feet
Her dying breath
against my cheek
I weep.
And I pray that you'll remember me
For the man that I tried to be
Not for the wrong I've done (wrong I've done)
As a broken man learns of a fathers love
My darling daughter I assure you
I had nothing to lose 'til the day I had you
Rest your heavy head on mine
Look to the stars
Look at all we left behind.
