Lyrics
FATHER FATHER
You left my little boy by the side of the road
You buried his happy smile in the field of oats you've sown
He got tired of walking by himself
He became a man without your help
I don't want to --
Don't you know you--
I don't want to let you down
Why is it still that way now?
You don't recall those memories you left behind
Locked up in some cluttered corner of your mind
You don't remember my face when you walked away
I will always remember what it was you said
I don't want to --
Don't you know you--
I don't want to let you down
but it will be that way now
Father father, why?
(The sins of the father,..)
Father father, why?
Father father, why have you forsaken me?
the sins of the father visit the son
the sins of the father visit the son
