Daddy's Gone Lyrics

Daddy's gone
Daddy's gonnna go to work today
To make a little money
Gotta get paid

Bake a cake
Bake a cake and set it on a plate
Up high where the dogs can't get it
So it don't get ate

When you lay your head on your pillow I'll be gone
I'll be gone
Will you breathe your dreams into your pillow like a song
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone

Close your eyes
Close your eyes until your dreams arise
Keep 'em tight where the hounds can't get 'em
So they don't get ate

When you raise your head from your pillow don't delay
Cause people decay
Will you let the rays of the sun help you along
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone

Cover art for Daddy's Gone lyrics by Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse

I remember listening to this about a month ago and at the lyric "When you lay your head on your pillow I'll be gone, I'll be gone", I thought, for who knows what reason, "something's not right here" and the lyrics became very dark to me (as they are I guess). and it was just a passing thought that i forgot about, but now.. :( what happened to him? this is all so messed up :|

I think it's just about going to work out of town. My husband works out of town (as did my dad) and I think the darkness you're picking up is about the fact that you spend so many days away, and they add up- before you know it your kids are all grown up and you and your spouse are old. It's time you can never get back.
