When I was young I drew what I thought you to be The perfect father to teach me And raise me up by the sea And now look where we are We're underneath the city in your criminal den Drinking wine and talking about a past That never could have been ♪ Father, I have waited for so long For this moment, oh "Don't you cry, little Sapphire," my mama told me "He'll come back" ♪ I found you and you lied You said you weren't mine ♪ You say you loved her Why'd you leave us both behind and go off to sea? Father, why'd you leave?
