O’ Father!
A fulfilled lifetime in Madison’s heart
Unrequited but rendered you undone
You fled from me and left a taste so tart
You fled from me and left a taste so tart
Down in the countryside with an old gun
Steadily your health rapidly declined
Coming to you with eyes full of wet tears
begging for a love that rendered me blind
Coming to you with eyes full of wet tears
begging for a love that rendered me blind
Asking and pleading throughout countless years
You were only a human after all
Back then you fought a cruel fifty year war
I reminisce days spent throwing a ball
or luminescent beach days spent ashore
I reminisce days spent throwing a ball
or luminescent beach days spent ashore
Callous love stained me with indigo dye
Brutal like a desert so dead and dry
