Daddys All Gone Lyrics - Indigo Girls

"Daddy's All Gone" is a James Taylor song. A live IG version appears 

on "Shades of Indigo." If you ask me, that song alone is worth the 

price of the disc. Em really shines, I think. Especially on the 

word "train" that goes on forever... what SOUL... ooooh. 

And her solo guitar arrangement is cool, too. 

Daddy's All Gone. 

Don't have much to say 

Thought I'd call you up anyway 

Just to try and tell you the way 

That I feel today - 

Oh, I miss you baby. 

Sure, I'm on the road 

I don't need to say much more 

Just the same old well known stranger 

That I was before - 

Seems like yesterday. 

Daddy's all gone 

He's just a halfway home 

He's holding on to the telephone 

Singing "Please - 

Don't let the show go on." 

There's a bus every other hour 

Even a midnight train 

But that don't leave me the power 

To see your face again - 

It's not that simple anymore. 

You see, there's a room full of smiling faces 

And there's a man standing by the door 

When he says it's time we take our places 

And get down on the floor - 

Oh, I'd like to kill him, baby. 

Daddy's all gone 

He's just a halfway home 

He's hanging on to the microphone 

Singing "Please - 

Don't let the show go on."
