Ever since I came out of my mothers womb
I've blossomed into the person my father grew
He was there from the start when he held me in both arms
Glazing a man with his heart in tune
To the prospect of fatherhood
He was waiting for years like a father would
So when I graced the earth
He went and made for certain
That my place was nurtured like a farmer would
And he was there from the depths as I grasped to clutch
Growing up eyes looking at the stars enough
Always wanted to be something beyond words
Before the world started telling me that's far enough
That's where my Dad stepped in
Encouraging ambition in the depths of my skin
Through the spectrum in him
Without I would have never put a plectrum to string
Put a foot in a boot to impress on the pitch
Never cut loose when a friends on a bridge
Don't oppress to be rich, or descend into mist
Make the best to impress with a pen on this skin, he said
But my scope is a mess without him
Unknown
But the best man ever known
My Father, Father, I know
My father, father
Dad I've found love now
Oh we've moved to the coast as well
And apparently I'm looking more like you every day
Now I've grew mine out
Yeah, my hairs gone curly like yours, maybe even more
And I'm surfing away every wave I pause
And think of the way you're engraved in the salt
Of the ocean's the place I can hear you talk, Dad
In my thoughts Dad
You will always be my support Dad
You will stay in my mind til' the day that I die
Even if our time was cut short Dad
I still feel your spirit in the room when we're joking
When lifting a glass at the table unspoken
Your sense of humour never loses its holding
Even through the moments I'm broken
Unknown
But the best man ever known
My Father, Father, I know
My father, father
