That had faded away at the seams dying alone naturally

Just as long as I could play the piano and smile a little smile

Just when I needed him most he was already a ghost

Believes the words that the Bible said 'til death do us two part'

'Cos I knew what it was about and if you could read between lines

My dad and I close as flies I loved him then and I loved him still

When he passed away I smoked and drank all day
