Dear Father, how long have you gone 

without speaking to your first-born son? 

(He's well, she's fine) 

I'm better still 

Still looking good 

On everything I said I would 

(He's well, she's fine) 

Deafened by the silent sound 

The walls you built not falling down 

(He's well, she's fine) 



Close your eyes 

Don't open them until the morning sunshine 

I'll be waiting 



Shave the dead weight from your face 

To find a new life to take it's place 

(Go now, move on) 

Dad, I know how hard it's been 

To feel like you inside your skin 

(Go now, move on)
