dad, I watched you fall
|
and split your head on the dock
|
I couldn’t bear to see
|
a lion so meek
|
in the francis jay memorial wing
|
so I never came
|
|
my family tree is me
|
|
angela, sister near, once
|
stripper severe
|
your husband donnie
|
is pure fear
|
so I stay clear
|
|
my family tree is me
|
|
mother dear
|
your eyes are lost
|
gunpowder shot
|
gun tossed, there’s nothing left to brood
|
I lost you too
|
|
my family tree is me
|
now I’m set free
|
|
