Avenade - Memoir

I forgot to say goodbye when you called me on the phone that night
Mom forgot to unlock the door
She saw you sick as a dog on the floor
You forgot to check your health
Your body was in for a world of hell
We forgot to say goodnight when you fell to sleep and saw the light
And when you died
I wished I would be there by your side
I wish you the best
It's time to confront your life as it stands
Father
I see you in my dreams as a man who wanted to talk things through
You see me as your son
An equal to your heart
A feeling I never felt
You lie on the couch in pain
Your words tense up as I hold you close
I weep for your aching health as my eyelids wake with the sunlight
And if I died
I wanted you to be there by my side
I wish you the world
Grim steps up to you and guides your soul
Father
And if our God would happen to take things back where it was
I'd reach for your hand and make my amends to you again
Father
