lyrics

As I approach the age

My father died

And the point at which

Everything we’d ever know of him

Had arrived

I look back at the image of a boy

And ask ‘did I say goodbye,

Did I say goodbye?’

And then as if from

Behind my shoulder

A voice, so much colder,

Calls my name,

I stammer

‘well it’s evident I’m not the man,

It’s plain for all to see’

But who are we to dwell on sentimentality?

And so as I approach the age he died

I find myself short on vanity

Or wounded pride

I am not the man he was

And I can only hope

I showed him good grace

For manners make a man,

Make a man,

But I was raw
