Daddy please don’t go- I couldn’t face this lonely world without you 

Father please don’t go- I couldn’t walk this mortal coil without you here 

Through these dark and empty streets 

Past the strangers with their secrets wrapped around them like a cloak; I long for you 

In the silence of their grief in the sadness in their eyes 

I creep around these broken walls and call for you 

Daddy please don’t go 

I couldn’t face this lonely world without you 

Father please don’t go 

I couldn’t walk this mortal coil… 

I move past a man without a face 

Who turns away as though my touch would be the thing to bring him down, oh so down 

As he starts to disappear 

I think I hear him call my name and whisper, “Daughter, don’t you understand by now?” 

Even as I walk these quiet streets you call to me 

Even as I walk these tired feet you speak to me
