When I lost my dad I was ten years old
|
Had a heart filled with venom and a poisonous tongue
|
I hated everything about the whole damn world
|
Mom was tough as they come and she held us close
|
Trying to raise us to the standards of his ghost
|
And you know that it was hard on her
|
Guess it was hard on us too
|
But where some have no one we had a village to get us through
|
|
The years have flown by and somehow we've survived
|
Somewhat broken hearted but willing enough to try
|
|
Tell me that you'll be there
|
And we'll hear the dance music from down below
|
Walking arm in arm through the summer air
|
With drinks in hand at the end of old Croy Road
|
|
We lost my dad when I was ten years old
|
I got his record collection and stereo console
|
And I learned every word, sang every line
|
Trying to find the man I was sure was hidden inside
|
|
Let's breathe the summer air and dance underneath the moonlight
|
We'll steal kisses underneath the oaks and I'll be loving life
|
|
Tell me that you'll be there
|
And we'll hear the dance music from down below
|
Walking arm in arm through the summer air
|
With drinks in hand at the end of old Croy Road
|
|
We lost my dad when I was ten years old
|
I got his record collection and stereo console
|
And I learned every word, sang every line
|
And it's the old songs and old friends that have kept me alive
|
