The Day My Father Died

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I was born on the day my father died
He loved me so
Heaven's bells on the day he closed his eyes
Down in a hole

But I can hear him singing
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I want to show you that life comes in circles
I want to show you life
Drink all your whiskey and spend all your money
And let no one steal your shine
The day my father died

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I was scared on the day my mother cried
She held me close
She lost a man who could ease her troublеd mind
She lost it all

And I remembеr singing

I want to show you that life comes in circles
I want to show you life
Your heart is heavy, I'll load out your carry
So put your sweet hand in mine
The day my father died

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The day my father died
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Put 'em down, put 'em down my lover sighed
She loves me so
Letting go doesn't mean you'll ever leave his side

I want to show you that life comes in circles
I want to show you life
Care for your sister, your son and your daughter
Your mother will heal in time
No self-destruction will fill up your heart
And the void that he left behind
The day my father died

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The day my father died
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The day my father died
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (I was born on the day my father died)
The day my father died
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (I was born)
