DADDY/NAMESAKE

VERSE#1

I used to daydream that you were not dead

Just hiding from the mob in a government program

You would watch me sometimes from your car in my yard

Wearing one of those faces that protect the innocent

CHORUS

That was long ago but I still remember
I missed my Daddy
That was long ago but I still remember
I never saw your face

VERSE#2

No one talked about you way back when

Told me what kind of man you were or what you would say

I wonder now were they afraid of the truth

or

Much too much consumed in their pain

So you were what you were in my mind

When the hell outside was happening to my body

You were what you were in my mind

When the hell outside was happeining to my body

Tell me please, would you have been the same, if only I knew?

VERSE#3

I'm all grown up the wounds have all healed

None you left deliberatly

Forgiveness wrapped it's arms around my heart

The tentacles of love, they reach from there

But I'm still the daughter of the man...who never lived...for me

I'm still the daughter of the man...who never lived...for me

Still I wear your name proud
