The Day He Died

dear son - daddy's never comin back home
he passed on - claim him as one of your own
my mind's numb - nothing has been clearer than this
they found him on the rug at the Golden Gate Inn
and I know - poppa never intended for this
to drag me - down into this bottomless pit
I've been given just about - all I can chew
I think back on love's empty truth
and I feel like the day he died
I feel like the day he died
I walked in - cops talkin standing around
I kneeled down - his body lying there on the ground
I begged please, please let me get a minute with him
and they said - don't touch anything kid
it smelt like life - just exit the room
I cried to - a shell of a man I once knew
my mind's been spinning way out of control
I can't believe that it's been three long years ago
and I feel like the day he died
I feel like the day he died
and I feel like the day he died
I feel like the day he died
and I feel like the day he died
I feel like the day he died
and I feel like the day he died
I feel like the day he ...
dear son - daddy's never comin back home
I've gone numb - wish I had the strength to live on
I can't breathe - is there any air left in here?
I can't believe - everything I hold disappears
has gone on - time and time again all alone
and dear son daddy's never comin back home
and I feel like the day he died
and I feel like the day he died
and I feel like the day he died
