Track #5 from the 2015 album "Everything Falls Apart"
lyrics
Dear Dad
You taught me how to change a light bulb
You taught me how to change a wheel
You taught me how to draw a straight line
You taught me how to clean my hands
You were proud even though I wasn't a son
You taught me how to kick a football
How to read, write
You taught me to make sense of numbers
Though that wasn't right
And you are cold and I’m hot-headed
and the conversation is hard
And I remember all that I wanted
was to spend five minutes with you
When finally finally we got the time
And we joked and we laughed we said very few words
But there you were
my Dad
With your funny face and your stupid beard
I laughed at all those years ago
With my strange clothes
You said "Are you going out like this?"
and yes
