Father Of Mine Lyrics - So Much For The Afterglow - Everclear

Father of mine 

Tell me where have you been? 

You know I just closed by eyes 

My whole world disappeared 

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 loved to hear you talk 

You would take me to the movie 

You would take me to the beach 

You would take me to a place inside 

That's so hard to reach 

Oh! 

Father of mine 

Tell me where did you go? 

Yeah, you had the world inside your hand 

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 

Doin' 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 five dollar bill 

I never understood you then 

And I guess I never will 

(Then he walked away) 

Daddy gave me a name 

My daddy gave me a name 

(Then he walked away) 

Daddy gave me a name 

(Then he walked away) 

My daddy gave me a name 

Oh yeah 

Yeah 

Daddy gave me a name 

Daddy gave me a name 

(Then he walked away) 

Daddy gave me a name 

(Then he walked away) 

My daddy gave me a name 

Yeah 

Yeah 

Oh yeah 

Father of mine 

Tell me where have you been? 

Yeah, I just closed by eyes 

And the world disappeared 

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 safe 

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'll never let her know 

All the pain I have known 

(Then he walked away) 

Daddy gave me a name 

(Then he walked away) 

My daddy gave me a name 

(Then he walked away) 

My daddy gave me a name 

(Then he walked away) 

My daddy gave me a name 

(Then he walked away) 

Yeah 

(Then he walked away) 

Yeah 

(Then he walked away) 

Oh yeah
