Cam Francis - Deathbed Lyrics

The nurse she told me that I look like my father
As he was lying down on his deathbed
I still had some baby teeth when he last saw me
And now he ain't go no teeth left in his head
He never taught me how to cook a square meal
How to change a spare tyre or how to shave
We never did argue we never were mean
When our paths crossed we'd passed all them days
I cannot complain with how I was raised
Mum found a good man who raised us like his own
Moved Into the country where the grass was green
Where the birds sang outside a stable home
But I couldn't help thinking "what happened to the man
The one I called dad from my early days?"
He missed all my life knew not my school grades
Or saw my first band perform on a stage
I find myself now at the end of his road
Where all the roads either end or begin
Through fault of his own I learned what matters most
How to love one who hurt you and how to forgive
So as I see life disappear from his eyes
His chest barely moving in Shallow last breath
I find purpose in life to tell of this story
How I got set free by my fathers death
