Stole

Your Daddy walked away down the road

Looking for the sun to set

And Mama sank into the easy chair

Lit another cigarette

Your eyes burn like a child’s

But he misses you all that he can

 

And misting up the window won’t help

But you can never tell

And Emma gets hooked as she tells all her friends

Everyone has fifteen minutes of shame

Your eyes burn like a child’s

But he misses you all that he can

 

But what if he could

But if he could

What if he could see me now

But what if he could

But if he could

What if he could see me now

And you think that it would make a difference?
