Dear Father - Live: Chikito Club, Bern 1969

Here are the books of Luke
You need them to open the seed
To see what goes on in the world
Here in my mind
Catch the wind and hold on tight
To what you will find
And hear what goes on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you from me

If there's anything you'd like to say that will help me in any way
'Cause I've been waiting for so long for you to come along
Help me on that day
When you take over all the things heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know?
Is there anything before I go?

Dear Father
I'm hungry, I'm cold
Dear Father
Feeling terribly old
Dear Father
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

Dear Father
Don't you leave me alone
(Dear Father)
Don't you let me go home
(Dear Father)
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

They're on their own, needing a face, a place
A hope, a mind, a home
To see what goes on in the world
They're who you need
To show them why they're wrong, oh, why indeed
They need to go on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you from me

If there's any communication that you'd like to talk over with me about
'Cause I've been waiting for so long for you to come along
We can work it all out
When you take over all the things heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know?
Is there anything before I go?

Dear Father
You must be putting me on
(Dear Father)
Most of their minds are gone
(Dear Father)
They wouldn't understand me
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

Dear Father
Can I give it a miss
(Dear Father)
I'm not ready for this
(Dear Father)
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

Dear Father
Won't you leave me alone?
(Dear Father)
Won't you let me go home?
(Dear Father)
I don't think I could see
(Dear Father)

Lord, they'd crucify me
(Dear Father)
I don't think I can do that
(Dear Father)
'Cause that's not where it's at now
Oh
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh
