I remember you sitting by yourself lost in your thoughts I remember you giving back occasional smile Memories conjuring mixed emotions I remember you singing opera as a joke I remember you drawing cartoons on a newspaper Memories conjuring mixed emotions Back it's all so superficial since I never really knew you It's all so superficial i never really knew you I was undoubtedly linked to you But I always felt so disconnected The good moments were so few And you were too far to ever be redirected I remember you coming home some kind of mist in your eyes I remember you lost in your artificial paradise Memories conjuring mixed emotions Back it's all so superficial since i never really knew you Just floating on the surface I never really knew you I was undoubtedly linked to you But I always felt so disconnected The good moments were so few And you were too far to ever be redirected I wonder if there was any guilt For depriving us Of moments to cherish Of memories to hold on to For pushing us away Now I sometimes wonder how it could have been Now I look back and understand The only thing remaining A father and a son And forgiveness Forgiveness Forgiveness ...
