about

Written by annA rydeR in January 2002

lyrics

Every evening she’d wait by the gate
Felt so old though she was only eight
Did he come - no, no, no
Why, oh, why did he have to go

Still she hoped he’d change his mind
Still she waited until it was time
To go to bed
Without him again
Oh daddy, you have left me

Standing with his case on the floor
Never kissed her, never more
Did she cry - no, no, no
Later the tears came with steady flow

Still she hoped the day would come
Still she longed for the rising sun
To bring to her
His footsteps on the path
His familiar laugh
His voice call her name
His arms lifting her to the sky once again
But daddy, you have left me
