Your life wasn't long just like a bird's life But you had your only sky And like an eagle you one day flew too high Beyond the limits set by the unknown And up where they belong and where the sun is black That's when we understood you never never ever were to come back
Just like the water flowing down a stream You were as endless as a dream Unlike some old forgotten poetry Your tale will always be chanted inside of me
Father I miss you so Father why d'you have to go So far where I can't go Somewhere, some place, but where, I don't know
Your life was a song of love and strife Too many times you rolled the dice And all the people as a court they prayed and they cried When you climbed beyond the summit of the unknown And up where the wind is strong and there's no turning back We got lost and found in the woods where the seeds of love grow back
By the millions you were held in high esteem Bringing happiness to every dream To every dream
Father, I miss you so Father, why d'you have to go So far away where I can't go Somewhere, some place, but where, I don't know
