Said The Whale - Father Lyrics

Said The Whale Lyrics

"Father"

Married and stable
Seems so simple
Husband, father
Afraid for the little ones
Always relied upon

Sorted, planned-out
Seems reasonable
Oldest, wisest
Always providing for
The ones that we ignore

I'll be damned if I could work so hard
To be the owner of assembling parts
Fathers with remarkable hearts

Slowly, missed out
Often missed last
For this reason
Pleased to be watching you
There's lots I could learn to do

The gentle face that guides you through the room
The time it takes to learn to speak the truth

The tone that you took with me then
Was for the best
The corners that I stared upon
For the best
Each time I dug up the yard
Near the fence
The gold that I found
The gold that I found

This son is great
This son is grateful
This son is great
This son is grateful
There's nothing you can follow back
There's nothing you can follow back
This son is grateful
