lyrics

Short One Daughter

Awakened late last night
To the sound of sirens
And a bright light
Not a good kind of night light
Should’ve taken it easy with the nightlife

And the morning comes short of one daughter
With one over-concerned father
Just trying to phone all his daughter’s friends
Trying to put the pieces together
-but, wait now

There’s an unexpected call
“Weather is so bad in the fall,”
Came a calm and collected voice
And he knew his life was over

He never even noticed when she was around
Now he can’t bring himself to take her pictures down
It’s irony, but I like it
If God was alive then would he give a shit?
Would he even take the fall for it?
It’s blasphemy that he’s singing

Take a picture it’ll last forever
So self-assured he’d be without her never
Ever-knowing
Irony strikes again

He never even noticed when she was around
Now he can’t bring himself to take her pictures down
It’s irony, but I like it
If God was alive then would he give a shit?
Would he even take the fall for it?
It’s blasphemy that he’s singing
