Painted Birds (Ode to My Father)

Painted Birds up above in blue
I miss you yes I do
And I sing this song to you
For you are no longer

And I curse the clock
That ticks until it stops
Of it’s own volition

Thank you so
I hope that things are well
The time we spent
Was lovely

And I know that
That my words can never tell

The complete story

So like a prayer
I talk to you
Somewhere in the distant nowhere blue
I miss you

And the funeral pyre
Burns it all away
On this dark black day
You’ve gone away

Like painted birds above in Blue.
