Sun Kil Moon - Father's Day lyrics

I rehearsed today down in Bayview with a bunch of singers And a string section too Came home in the afternoon, sunk into my chair, took in the sun thinking about what a friend said about Bullsh** verses more important issues Then the doors all started buzzing and Caroline went downstairs and a crackhead fled two FedEx packages were ripped to shreds She filed a report and I called the building manager and let her know and the next morning the neighbor came over and we talked it over We went to bed, turned on CNN in South Carolina 9 were shot dead the k**er looks like a little boy not a man So tonight I can't address nothing else that's happening Friday was the show with Chuck and Steph Last night was the fight with Andre Ward and an overweight Paul Smith A piece of Smith's face went flying in the 9thth round And the ref stepped in and the noise of the crows was so intense because Steph Curry was in the house And today is Father's Day And I called my dad and he sounded OK Told him I was recording, but that on Wednesday gonna go pull fish from the ocean and cook them with Caroline in her brand new kitchen Oh today is Father's Day I just talked to my dad and he's doing OK He and his girlfriend went to lunch that's all he needs, he's 81 He's a simple man and full of love and I miss him a bunch Oh today is Father's Day I called my dad and I'm so happy that I can say That after years of struggle he's one of my best friends no matter what his faults are I will always love that man And it's Tuesday and I'm duetting with Rachel She's a parent now, and so is Neil, and so is Justin maybe they're onto something What is next and when will I face d**h Do we want kids, we both think no But I hear them laughing at the playground at school And I think about life with all its pain and hurtles I still love lily pads floating at the top of the ponds and painted turtles And I love Cat Stevens and Neil Young songs And I love Owen Ashworth's music when we're driving along And I think about life with all its spew and venom And I still love playing music, getting up on stage, and entertaining I look at the sky and at all those beautiful shades of blue And I'm so happy to have pa**ed through these places that had lead me to you Will I ever hear people say “Happy Father's Day” Will I ever hear people say “Happy Father's Day” I got the money and I got the space I got the right girl, everything's in place Will it ever be our kid out there on the playground, laughing and playing For half my life that playground Has been my very favorite sound They wake me in the morning, then in the afternoon I write music to the sound of them during their after-school programs in my living room This morning the world is so strange and quiet I'll walk to the Marina for exercise and I try to maintain some kind of died My sister said my father's skin is getting dry That his hands are black and blue like my grandfather's was when I was 5 I'm going to meet Caroline down the road for Chinese They're building a new hospital over there and the cat still sleeps at the fish market across the street And here we are back home, watching a movie on TV And I'm looking at a picture of my sister's kids in the garden and it's got me thinking.
