Hard Goodbyes
Dedicated to my father; always loved & deeply missed.
he is leaving, packing as we speak
my voice might be strong
but my soul is so weak
he’ll be gone
sooner than we think
I don’t want to miss a thing
so I won’t even blink
his spirit, his everything
his presence will drift away
yes, he is leaving us
he’ll be gone early Saturday
so, so long to my father
one of my great heroes
he won’t be here anymore
but this is what he chose
he says he still loves us
but he’s not doing so great
he hates this town
but we moved,
it’s too late
(2007)
