Fatherlight
(We are leaving our time now)
(We are leaving our time now)
(There are places where time moves more slowly than here)
(We honor all four directions)
(East, West, North, South)
In the fatherlight
I lost my compass and I lost my sight
At the fireside
I sat too close and then I burned my eyes
And was it temperament
That kept us from saying all the things we meant
Fatherlight
Fatherlight
Fatherlight
Hear the city call
With faster highways and with alcohol
Can we synchronize
With time so different, generation-wise
And was it temperament
That kept us from saying all the things we meant
In the countryside
(So many things now I cannot tell you)
I lost my country when I left your side
(The broken bones of a shattered world view)
Now you think I'm gone
(And in the ER lights I saw you)
But take my hand and let me prove you wrong
(Reaching up like you thought you might break through)
Fatherlight
Fatherlight
Fatherlight
Fatherlight
(And we also honor the fifth direction)
(The vertical one)
Fatherlight
(Which is in us)
(Today, here)
Fatherlight
Fatherlight
Fatherlight
(We are leaving our time now)
(There are places where time moves more slowly than here)
(We honor all four directions)
(East, West, North, South)
In the fatherlight
I lost my compass and I lost my sight
At the fireside
I sat too close and then I burned my eyes
And was it temperament
That kept us from saying all the things we meant
Fatherlight
Fatherlight
Fatherlight
Hear the city call
With faster highways and with alcohol
Can we synchronize
With time so different, generation-wise
And was it temperament
That kept us from saying all the things we meant
In the countryside
(So many things now I cannot tell you)
I lost my country when I left your side
(The broken bones of a shattered world view)
Now you think I'm gone
(And in the ER lights I saw you)
But take my hand and let me prove you wrong
(Reaching up like you thought you might break through)
Fatherlight
Fatherlight
Fatherlight
Fatherlight
(And we also honor the fifth direction)
(The vertical one)
Fatherlight
(Which is in us)
(Today, here)
Fatherlight
Fatherlight
Fatherlight
