Father 歌词

Buttons from a uniform A cartridge from the war Letters to my mother Hidden in a drawer All around me empty space Never filled by a father's face In my mind he's strong and warm I like the picture I have drawn He's a shadow man He's my father He's the hidden link in my chain He's a shadow man He's my father He's the one who lives inside my name I'm the only link in the chain Fragments of memories From other people's lives Gather and collect them To see my father's eyes Eyes to see the future come Eyes to see the past Eyes to see his only son From whom he was cast He's a shadow man He's my father He's the one who lives inside my name He's a shadow man He's my father I'm the only link in the chain What you gonna be when you grow up? How you gonna fill that empty cup? Be strong and hold your head up high Teach yourself how to fly He's a shadow man He's my father He's a shadow man
