Daddy's All Gone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't have much to say
Thought I'd call you up anyway
Just to try to show you the way
That I feel today
I miss you, baby.
I sure am on the road
I don't need to say much more
Just the same old well-known stranger
That I was before
It seems like yesterday now.
Daddy's all gone
Only half way home
He's holding on to the telephone
Saying please don't let the show go on.
There's a bus every other hour
There's even a midnight train
But that don't leave me the power
To see your face again
It's not that simple.
You see there's a room full of smiling faces
There's a man standing by the door
Says it's time to change our places
And get down on the floor
Kill 'em baby.
Daddy's all gone
He's just half way home
He's holding on to the microphone
Singing please don't make the show go on
