Once upon a time you were gonna live forever
But that was another fairytale, dad
You warned me
Oh, how you warned me
But how can you ever warn a person against something like that
And I keep pretending that it's all ok - I'm OK now
But we all know it's a lie, dad
I prepared
Oh, how I prepared
But how can you prepare to see your own father die?
I remember when you explained how the water rose on the beach
Explaining things to that innocent brain
It seemed to me there was nowhere you couldn't reach
But this is now and with "the now" comes the pain
Fading smile - Disappearing smile
Why does life wither and fade away?
Fading smile - Disappearing smile
Daddy, I'm your little boy, and always will be
All I have left is this cold stone to touch
I've got to remember that you're not here anymore...
That nothing will ever be like it used to be before.
I feel your spirit floating here, all around
I'm ok now, Dad
