Heres to you, I sing for my daddy-o
As I lay him down to sleep
Its been so long, since I lost my daddy-o
Hope hes watchin' over me
Wednesday night is mornin' now
As I'm walkin' in the rain

Back and forth through painted brick
The colours all seemed bland
I've traveled all these years, he said
To only get this far, so he crossed the street
Found a seat, his home is now a bar
And we'll never see the likes of you again
There must be more to life, than this poxie life
All the aggro, all the pain
so he dissapeared into this final beer
But the glass was empty, once again, again, again
Woke up in an awful state
