Oh my father please stand next to me Because I've given you every reason to stand up and leave And from all my lonely efforts i cant seem to learn And from dust I am to dust I'll turn (Ooooh ooh ooh x2) And oh my father do you hear these songs Or have I been singing to myself all along And are you simply silent or am I simply death Have I strayed to far or is it all in my head And is all I am all I'll ever be Is this gap that grows all I'll ever see Because I've become all I used to be But still the question stands will you stand next to me (Ooooh ooh ooh x2) And oh my father please explain it to me Why I still lust for you daughters even when I'm free And have I become the habit I hate so much It seems I lost your voice I lost your touch And is all I am all I'll ever be Is this gap that grows all I'll ever see Because I've become all I used to be But still the question stands will you stand next to me Oooh And is all I am all I'll ever be Is this gap that grows all I'll ever see Because I've become all I used to be But still the question stands will you stand next to me I've been asking if you could stand next to me Oooooooh Woooooah Wooooooah Woooooooah Woooooah So father we wait for you And father we wait for you So father we wait for you And father we wait for you And father we wait for you And father we wait for you So father we wait for you And father we wait for you
