Too Late, But Not Forgotten

Low tide river gone down
Got no car to drive into town
And the dry wind blows through the cracks in the walls
And out in the trees a forgotten bird calls
Moon light, a silhouette
Something that I never did get
And I remember you daddy when you stood in the door
Crazy with whiskey and asking for one more
Too late, but not forgotten
And the corn keeps growing in the sunshine
Time runs and the baby keeps crying
And I can't keep lying. Daddy I miss you, yes I do now
Frost comes, harvest gone
I wonder if I'll have enough to carry me on
And the cold wind blows like a slap on the land
Sometimes I wonder if the house is gonna stand
Day break comes the first rain
The neighbors come by to sit and complain
And I think of the nights when your feet got cold
And you told me that you hoped we would never grow old
Too late, but not forgotten
And my life keeps flowing down the river
Time goes and the baby is sleeping
And I can't help weeping: Daddy I'm hurting, yes I am now
Well there's a tugboat on the riverbend
It must be Sam your riverboat friend
I remember the night he called me a tramp
Back when we were living in the trailer camp
Dreams go, but memories keep
Today I'm wishing for a good night's sleep
And the only thing that I ever did need
Was a good man's loving and a baby to feed
Too late, but not forgotten
And the storms keep blowing up the river
Times gone and the baby keeps growing
And I can't help knowing: Daddy I loved you, yes I did
Too late, but not forgotten
And the storms keep blowing up the river
Times gone and the baby keeps growing
And I can't help knowing: Daddy I loved you, don't you know I did
Low tide, river gone down
Got no car to drive in the town
And the dry wind blows through the cracks in the walls
And out in the trees a forgotten bird calls
