Eric Harrison - Sing What I Can't Say

Madeleine is five years old today
In a city park at her mother's side
Meanwhile three thousand miles away
An absent father feels no pride
To sleep in the shadow of a sad hotel
A raw feeling he can't hide
Sun rises on the nothing new
Haunting him like something has died
Father Time may speak in rhyme
Not every garden grows
I'll sing what I can't say and hope she knows
That I've been on a back road heading south
Chasing heat as the night gets colder
Filling a void with emptiness
Looking for a war that needs a soldier
While Madeleine is safe as she can be
And tucked away inside a folder
A letter that could bring me home to her
If I weren't broke down on a highway shoulder
Father Time please speak in rhyme
Until I sink so deep
I'll sing what I can't say until I sleep
Father Time please speak in rhyme
Until I sink so deep
I'll sing what I can't say until I sleep
It's a climb
All things in time
She's not your soul to keep
I'll sing what I can't say until I sleep
And Madeleine is five years old today
