Springfield Rick - My Father's Chair Lyrics


Springfield Rick Lyrics

My Father's Chair Lyrics
My father's chair's still standing there, all alone since the long night
Now it's three years on and I still feel, he'll come home, we'll be alright
So where's this healing time brings, I was told the pain would ease
But it still hurts like the first night

That night my brother, my mother and I, were looking up at a distant star
And wishing we could reach that far
And back in the house and alone for the first time
We told each other we cared, we avoided my father's chair

I watch my family, we hold on, we are strong and we'll be alright
The clock continues counting down, all the while
And every child will share the long night
But do the spirits meet again, why am I still so filled with doubt
Is my soul everlasting

And the far distant future, when I knew you'd be gone
Came too fast and stays too long
Why do they leave the weak of spirit and take the strong

But when the world turns sour and I get sick from the smell
And I can't find no comfort there, I climb into my father's chair
