Joe Knott - Father Lyrics

A rose for thought of you came
A felt tipped crown where you lay
Blisters heal but the callus remains
It was the last time I let you down

Saw some strangers you'd know
Told me send you hello
As time ticks well I've grown sick of it
There's not a lot that a sorry can do

I put new strings on your guitar
And played you 'Hallelujah'
And I sang hoarse through the cracks in my voice
It was the only way that I could talk to you
I could talk to you

Father I hadn't forgotten you
I've had my conscience to face
It took me a whole damn year to walk down to your grave
But please forgive, it took a lot to be brave

Oh, oh

And I've been trying to write down
Something worthwhile to say
So I'll scream cathartic notes in hold of their place
And I hope that to you it means the same
Same, ohh
Same, woah oh oh, oh woah

And you'll live on in this town
In six feet of salty ground
Your shadow's cold and I want to feel warm
I hope I haven't let you down
