Dear Daddy

dear daddy,

I know now your gone
you're in heaven.
Probably playing the guitar,
(You always were the jazzman)
The one that kept mum and the booze apart.

Now that you're in heaven,
I am all alone.
There's no one to run to, to hide.
(Mum hits me every day now)
She wouldn't care if i cried.

I hope that God is nice dad,
not like my mum.
Back here she's always drinking,
( and she is always sad)
And that's what set me thinking.

Dad I know you're busy,
with angels and all.
But you're the only one I can tell.
This woman that I'm now living with,
She makes all life a hell.

Daddy without you here,
I'm completly lost.
Mum's got a boyfriend now.
(He hits me to you see.)
You know I think shes such a cow.

With you gone now,
up to be with God.
I wonder if you look over me.
(My teacher said thats what angels do.)
Can you ask God dad if I'll ever be free.

Please daddy, darling dad,
let me know you're there.
Angels fiil my dreams of you.
(They try to take my hand dad.)
I wish my dreams were true.

Daddy Daddy it's agony,
the pain mum gives.
I see your face in my mind.
(I'm slowly starting to drift away)
I'm in a place without you now mum where everyone is kind.
