Why Daddy

Why is it dark Daddy?
Why is the sea so cold?
Why are we silent Daddy?
Why are you looking old?

There are gods in play
And they pushed us away
Like wanton boys in the wailing day
They moved us far from home - from home

Why are we sad Daddy?
Why aren't we glad Daddy?
Glad Daddy
Glad

Sing to me Daddy?
Kiss my ring for me
Make me smile Daddy
It's cold here by the sea

In the wailing night
We would hold each other tight
But hunted down like vermin - we had taken flight

We were out of reach
But they found us on the beach
And the longest night of all - was yet to come

Why are we sad Daddy?
Why aren't we glad Daddy?
Glad Daddy
Glad
