Family Tree, Pt. II

Father can you hear me down the hall

It's been about a year

Since I talked to you at all

You never called

Father would you listen to what I say

Even if it's been five days

Since you passed away

And I'm so afraid

'Cause I had so many things to say

The words, they all fell down like leaves

I wish there were a few branches left

On this old family tree

It's hard to stand and see you lying still

Helpless as a baby

Mute as a windowsill

You give me chills

My whole life I've fended for myself

Proved to me I never needed you

Or nobody else

Save for myself

But I had so many things to say

And the words, they all fell down like leaves

I wish there were a few branches left

On my old family tree

I put you away many times before

Now you're livin' in a box

Inside my dresser drawer

Wish you had a little more

Time to make time and see me get old

But I'd like to buy you one more round

Before you go

Before you go
