Lirieke: Freshlyground. Nomvula. Father Please.

Daddy please don?t go- I couldn?t face this lonely world without you
Father please don?t go- I couldn?t walk this mortal coil without you here
Through these dark and empty streets
Past the strangers with their secrets wrapped around them like a cloak; I long for you
In the silence of their grief in the sadness in their eyes
I creep around these broken walls and call for you
Daddy please don?t go
I couldn?t face this lonely world without you
Father please don?t go
I couldn?t walk this mortal coil?
I move past a man without a face
Who turns away as though my touch would be the thing to bring him down, oh so down
As he starts to disappear
I think I hear him call my name and whisper, ?Daughter, don?t you understand by now??
Even as I walk these quiet streets you call to me
Even as I walk these tired feet you speak to me
