"Texas Girl At The Funeral Of Her Father" as written by and Randy Newman....
Here I am lost in the wind
'Round in circles sailing
Like a ship that never comes in
Standing by myself
Sing a sad song for a good man
Sing a sad song for me
Sing a sad song for the sailor
A thousand miles from the sea
Here I am along on the plain
Sun's going down
It's starting to rain
Papa we'll go sailing
'Round in circles sailing
Like a ship that never comes in
Standing by myself
Sing a sad song for a good man
Sing a sad song for me
Sing a sad song for the sailor
A thousand miles from the sea
Here I am along on the plain
Sun's going down
It's starting to rain
Papa we'll go sailing

+1General CommentI think this song is gorgeous... it's amazing to me to see a man write and sing such a poignant song for the other gender like this. I wish more songwriters wrote like Randy Newman.

+1General CommentOne of my favourite Randy Newman songs, though Linda Ronstadt's version is also good. Was the father a naval officer? Where in Texas is 1000 miles from the sea? None of thse questions really matter - just a very poignant song.pconlon September 10, 2010 Link
