Daddy Come Home
Nathan Grisdale
One bedroom flat
With two young kids
No father figure to
Pick up the pieces
Unable to sleep
She feels so sad
She's dreaming the day
They ask wheres my dad
She prays every night
For a better life
For husband to steal
Call honey's wife
He's alcohol dependent
Drunk every single day
He needs to realize what
Kids will soon say
We want you home
Mum can't do this alone
Get off the drink
And pour it down the sink
It's not with you dying
Its's not with us crying
Our family is torn
Daddy come home
Home, hooommmeee
Our family is torn
He's living on the streets
On his own
His only time solo was
When his kids was born
Ever since then
His head's gone back
His families waiting for
The day he goes to rehab
We want you home
Mum can't do this alone
Get off the drink
And pour it down the sink
It's not with you dying
It's not with us crying
Our family is torn
Daddy come home
Home, hooommmeee yer
Our family is torn
For we leave this beer
Will soon turn to water
When his kids are wiser
And older
And finally hear him say
I'll beat it, I'll beat it
I'm finally soba
We want you home
Mum can't do this alone
Get off the drink
And pour it down the sink
It's not with you dying
It's not with us crying
Our family is torn
Daddy come home
Home, home
We want you home
Mum can't do this alone
Get off the drink
And pour it down the sink
It's not with you dying
It's not with us crying
Daddy come home
