The Day My Father Died

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I was born on the day my father died

He loved me so

Heading spells on the day he closed his eyes

Down in a hole

But I can hear him singing

"Oh, oh, oh, oh"

I want to show you that life comes in circles

I want to show you life

Drink all your whiskey and spend all your money

And let go and steal your shine

The day my father died

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I was scared on the day my mother cried

She held me close

She lost a man who could ease her troubled mind

She lost it all

And I rеmember singing

I want to show you that life comеs in circles

I want to show you life

Your heart is heavy, I'll load out your carry

So put your sweet hand in mine

The day my father died

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

The day my father died

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Put 'em down, put 'em down my lover's side

She loves me so

Letting go doesn't mean you'll ever leave his side

I want to show you that life comes in circles

I want to show you life

Care for your sister, your son and your daughter

Your mother will heal in time

No self-destruction will fill up your heart

And the void that he left behind

The day my father died

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

The day my father died

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

The day my father died

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (I was born on the day my father died)

The day my father died

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (I was born)
