As violent things

from vibrant dreams

Awaken me

from deadend sleep

And drag me to

my tired feet

Her dying breath

against my cheek

I weep.



And I pray that you'll remember me

For the man that I tried to be

Not for the wrong I've done (wrong I've done)

As a broken man learns of a fathers love

My darling daughter I assure you

I had nothing to lose 'til the day I had you



Rest your heavy head on mine

Look to the stars

Look at all we left behind.
