I still remember

The day I went home

The taxi dropped me on the street

And I stood there all alone


I saw a lady on the porch

That I knew from years before

She said, "Sorry about your father."

From behind the closed screen door


"Sorry about your father."

"He don't live here, no more."

"Sorry about your father."

"I saw them close the hearse door."

"He don't live here no more."


Unopened letter

Unanswered calls

We were two separate men

Behind our stone walls


A chilled wind was blowin'

A cold October rain

And, as I stood before the house

It was silently saying:


"Sorry about your father."

"He don't live here, no more."

"Sorry about your father."

"I saw them close the hearse door."

"He don't live here no more."


(Intense guitar solo)


"Sorry about your father."

"I remember that day."

"Sorry about your father."

"I saw them take him away."

"Yes, I did." 

"I remember that day."


"Sorry about your father."

"I remember that day."

"Ohh, when I went home, fell down on my knees."

"Raised up my right hand."

"And I cried please, please, please."

"If I had just a little more time."


Yeah


(Great outro)
