lyrics

I was a child I awoke to a hushed darkened argument
I saw large figures moving heavily, their shadows cast about
And I dare not assume the subject of fuel
But their voices hummed a familiar dull tune
As the tension touched my skin
One dropped finally and still

Cries of “Batten down the hatches man,
you can’t keep on in this town,
when you just killed a man”
And what a life you now must lead –
clothes on the end of a stick in a handkerchief
And you can’t be my father

The town clock stands taller than any building I have every seen
With the heretic stood in front silhouetted - the sun and column strong
I felt the power of human words, without a touch raise a hand to my blood
“This man should be returned to court”, he said
“To be tried by us as God would wish”
As the tension burnt my skin
The crowd split open and still

They cried “Batten down the hatches man - he can’t keep on in this town
when he just killed a man”
And what a life you now must lead - clothes on the end of a stick in a handkerchief
And he can’t be a father

My father
My father
I wonder do I miss this character - in stories I hear concocted through the years
about my evil father

There’s burrows made, by rabbits and hares - maybe you’d live there
There’s milk in fields where leather grows and clear water in these streams
And as I age I wonder
When is this age I’ll be old enough to understand
what happens when a man turns on a man?

Cries of “Batten down the hatches man - he can’t keep on in this town
when he just killed a man”
And what a life you now must lead - clothes on the end of a stick in a handkerchief
And you can’t be my father

My father
My father
I wonder do I miss this character - in stories I hear concocted through the years
about my evil father
