Quote of the Week XVI

"Hope abides."
-Michael on the radio, From the film, Twenty Years After

Daddy Come Home

Daddy come home,
I'm all alone
Daddy come home,
I'm all alone
Just come today
I'll be so behaved
Please come today
I'd be so behaved
Won't you come home?
I'm all alone
Please just come home
I'm all alone.

In the still and in the dark
Is where I feel the most afraid
And even though I'm there to pray
Perhaps I will not make it.

The simplest things feel so beyond
and all my strength has left me
The joy of it is nowhere seen
And I am having quite the time.

All this feeling seems too much
And all these memories the same
Nothing permanent at all-
Nothing that is, except the pain.

Daddy come home,
I feel so alone
Please just come home
I feel too alone
Why did you die?
I'm still alive
Why did you die?
I'm still alive
Daddy come home
Your son is alone
Please just come home
'Cause I'm all alone.
