Missing my father
Johnny Cash, Hurt
On an island of all bequeath things
I stand along with thee
You sit with me
a cloud of witnessing things
How could it be
arrived on an island of all bequeath things
The road you traveled landed me here
I'm surrounded by water
I look to the sky to see the stars
You've bequeath me to this island
traversing the desert you landed me here
The island I stand
nothing in common with the desert you traveled
traversed, two million miles away
I look up to the sky
There the star that shined
All the same
When you were alive
Sitting in the car
you told me that you were sorry
Sorry for not giving more than what you did
How could I ask for me --
although I myself thought wanted more
All I need is you
you are not the one who sat in the recliner this morning
who does he think he is
He has no idea of what he did
he has no idea of what he did
You are the one to sit in the chair
you are the one to sit in the chair
No one else can sit there
How he dare.
