I will not let your shadow hang over me
For I have grown into a cherry blossom tree
But I regret the words that were not said
We didn't know you the night we packed and fled
From the back seat I saw
Red and blue paint the neighbours' walls
But I still love you Dad
Even though we made you mad
Though the things that you did
Made it hard to understand
Down at the station
Photos against the wall
To show the purple that grew beneath my jaw
Julie Andrews on TV
A quiet Christmas Eve
But I still love you Dad
Even though we made you mad
Mum cried watch the TV
The Sound of Music
Do-Re-Mi
I will not be afraid of you
I have learnt to grow past you
Do you remember when you said you were Santa Claus?
Right after punching Mum
Before you hit the floor
At school you were Mr C
At home you terrified me
But I still love you Dad
Even though we made you mad
Wonder when you're alone
Do our screams chill you to the bone?
