The Garland Pool - Father

Papa tried his hand at love
Much too young he'd soon give up
The tie that binds not built to last
Under the strain of tug-o-war
Daddy's words not heard before
You boy are mine, but not you girl

Who's your father now?
Ohh... your father now?
Why oh why?

Father, look what's going on
You're not the only one
Who's suffering
Father, look what's going on
You're not the only one
Who's suffering

To brush with law so frequently
Off to the penitentiary
His hand to freedom clutching definitely
Six long years at seventeen
My father he returned to me
His shadow darker than was previously

Who's your father now?
Ohh... your father now?
Why oh why?

Father, look what's going on
You're not the only one
Who's suffering
Father, look what's going on
You're not the only one
Who's suffering
