Daddy's Gone

(album: Bird Machine - 2023)

Daddy's gone
Daddy's gone to go to work today
To make a little money
You gotta get paid
Bake a cake
Bake a cake and set it on a plate
Up high, where the dogs can't get it
So it don't get ate

When you lay your head
On your pillow, I'll be gone
I'll be gone
And when you breathe your dreams
Into your pillow, breathe them strong
I woke up, and all my yesterdays were gone

Close your eyes
Close your eyes until your dreams arrive
And keep 'em tight where the hounds can't get 'em
So they don't get ate

When you raise your head
From your pillow, don't delay
As people decay
When you let the rays
Of the sun help you along
I woke up, and all my yesterdays were gone
I woke up, and all my yesterdays were gone
I woke up, and all my yesterdays were gone
I woke up, and all my yesterdays were gone
