Shiny Thomas - A Red Brick House

Its funny how your life does change
A tossed up coin. A turn of phrase
A truck that you just didn't see coming

A red brick house, a sun drenched lake
Your mothers hand, that just slips away
A heart that just wont stop aching

And you will stand there all alone
Because daddy's not coming home
But I will follow you, wherever you go

Scene two finds you right by the sea
Overwhelmed and under siege
A glitter ball absorbing all you feel

Your bedroom door, the blackest night
The breaking dawn, a crack of light
A telephone that keeps on ringing

And you will stand there all alone
Because daddy's not coming home
But I will follow you, wherever you go

You must stand there all alone
There are sins for which you can atone
But I will follow you, wherever you go

Looking up at your fathers friends
Engulfed by much bigger men
A porcelain crack that wont stop spreading

Some truths are told, time is spent
Hands that hold and souls that vent
The boy becomes a man again (And again)

And you will stand there all alone
Daddy's not coming home
I will follow you, wherever you go

Its funny how your life does change
A tossed up coin, a turn of phrase
A love that you just didn't see coming
