Lyrics
It's Selfish to wish you back in your shell, As mine is flooding with tears,
When you went to heaven I went to hell,
I took for granted all of
those years.
A dining chair is left empty,
A daughters heart becomes heavy,
There's silence replacing laughter,
There's tears instead of a father.
Fly away, to the moon beautiful owl,
It's time to finally rest and be happy now,
I will wake you up after my own flatline sounds,
Asking if once a month you heard a howl,
It was me pleading for you to be back around,
But the only thing truer than a suffering that profound,
Is the love between father and daughter, eternally bound,
I promise to make you proud, I promise I won't let you down,
Fly away to the moon beautiful owl,
Your wings are no longer clipped now.
Sunsets and moons break my heart,
Because you never ever got to start,
The life you dreamed you would soon have,
When the universe ripped us apart.
There's certain times of the day,
And phrases strangers say,
Used butts in an ashtray,
Your face is on display,
But your warmth has gone away.
The little things reminding me you couldn't stay.
longer clipped now.
Sunsets and moons break my heart,
Because you never ever got to start,
The life you dreamed you would soon have,
When the universe ripped us apart.
There's certain times of the day,
And phrases strangers say,
Used butts in an ashtray,
Your face is on display,
But your warmth has gone away.
The little things reminding me you couldn't stay.
Fly away, to the moon beautiful owl,
It's time to finally rest and be happy now,
I will wake you up after my own flatline sounds,
Asking if once a month you heard a howl,
It was me pleading for you to be back around,
But the only thing truer than a suffering that profound,
Is the love between father and daughter, eternally bound,
I promise to make you proud, I promise I won't let you down,
Fly away to the moon beautiful owl,
Your wings are no longer clipped now.
Why was your life so unfair?
And I know you aren't there,
But I miss your laugh and the smell of your hair,
Telling me see ya later and always being there,
Whether 5:45am Or 5:50pm,
I always knew id see you again,
I wish I knew you were my best friend,
Wish I didn't realise until after the end.
I'll smile every morning hiding the echo of a cry,
I can't stop asking "why did you have to die?"
