lyrics

Daddy

He used to say ‘Come on, let’s play’. Now upon the bed he’ll lay too long
He remembers taking rides, the swimming pool, the countryside, all gone
Daddy don’t deliver anymore

He knows he broke the contract and it breaks his heart to watch you play alone
But guilt won’t push him off that sofa, he’s in the house but he’s not home
Daddy don’t deliver anymore. No, no, Daddy he don’t deliver anymore

Day by day the well ran dry. He couldn’t find the will to cry no more
And with the tears we lost the laughter, and he lost his way
Daddy…..

He’s trying to fill these empty days and hoping it’s just this mid-life phase
That keeps him from you, you know he loves you
It’s not the role he planned to play. Not the role he planned. No way. No way

No more. He don’t deliver any more
Daddy, well he don’t deliver
He don’t deliver.
No, no more. No no more.
He may be in the house but he’s not really home
No, no more. He could never leave because he loves you so
Oh Daddy
