Molly Jane
I can still recall your name
And the way you lit the room
When you were born
And how, that day
My entire agenda changed
And all that mattered
Was that you were safe and warm
I left the cradle
Feeling glowing magma love
Drove to work
So I could earn ourselves a life
Climbed each and every ladder
With my head above the matter
Then clocked off at 5 to rejoin paradise
But as I neared the garden gate
Full of excitement to return
To my infant daughter
A woman ran through the estate
And called out: "dad!"
So, silently, I turned towards her
I recognised her straight away
She said:
"I don't know you very well
But I love you
More than anyone loved anybody
Shoot your way up to the stars
And I will hurt"
I said:
"I don't know you very well
And why should I?
I was always in the office
But after all these years
I still recognise you"
I'd barely time to allow my stupid mind
To mourn the childhood I'd let go to waste
Before my eyes, in a moment of surprise
Were jerked by my alarm clock awake
It took some time to realise
That I no longer had a girl
To feed and clothe and water
But, still, I must apologise
I was your distant dad
And you were my fictitious daughter
I don't know you very well
But I love you
More than anyone loved anybody
Shoot your way up to the stars
And I will hurt
I don't know you very well
And why should I?
It's 6 in the morning
After what felt like years
I've had to bid farewell to you
Molly
Molly
Find yourself
I don't know you very well
But I love you
More than anyone loved anybody
Shoot your way up to the stars
And I will hurt
I don't know you very well
And why should I?
'Cos I never really happened
Molly
Molly
Molly
Molly
Molly
Molly
I still think about you
Molly
I still think about you
Molly
I still think about you
Find yourself
I still dream about you
I can still recall your name
And the way you lit the room
When you were born
And how, that day
My entire agenda changed
And all that mattered
Was that you were safe and warm
I left the cradle
Feeling glowing magma love
Drove to work
So I could earn ourselves a life
Climbed each and every ladder
With my head above the matter
Then clocked off at 5 to rejoin paradise
But as I neared the garden gate
Full of excitement to return
