Oh Father Loverboy
You left your body six years ago
But you left us long before
The family still cries oh boo hoo
Tears long I have no more
You lived in town and never phoned
Empty promises from you dad
hopes and dreams my eyes had shoned
crushing silence just too bad
My granite hart you have made
Like the rest of me
A better father made you fade
A new self I became to be
Years later we find your secret life
Stranger friends morning their loss
Families and five times wife
All forgotten to find new boss
Through their fake tears I miss you not
I remember who you were
Safety silence the family dare not shot
My retaliate might leave us bare.
