Lyrics
Daddy, please don't go
I couldn't face this lonely world without you
Father, please don't go
I couldn't walk this mortal coil without you here
Daddy, please don't go
I couldn't face this lonely world without you
Father, please don't go
I couldn't walk this mortal coil
Through these dark and empty streets
Past the strangers with their secrets
Wrapped around them like a cloak
I long for you
In the silence of their grief
In the sadness in their eyes
I creep around these broken walls
And long for you
Daddy please don't go
I couldn't face this lonely world without you
Father, please don't go
I couldn't walk this mortal coil
I move past a man without a face
Who turns away as though my touch would be the thing to bring him down
Oh so down
As he starts to disappear
I think I hear him call my name
And whisper, 'Daughter, don't you understand by now?'
Even as I walk these quiet streets
You call to me
Even as I walk these tired feet
You speak to me
Daddy, please don't go
I couldn't face this lonely world without you
Father, please don't go
I couldn't walk this mortal coil without you here
Daddy, please don't go
I couldn't face this lonely world without you
Father, please don't go
I couldn't walk this mortal coil without you
