[Verse] Kiss me goodnight and say my prayers Leave the light on at the top of the stairs Tell me the names of the stars up in the sky A tree taps on the window pane That feeling smothers me again Daddy is it true that we all have to die [Chorus] E shape on 5th Fret slide to third fret At the top of the stairs Is darkness At the top of the stairs Is darkness [Verse] I closed my eyes and when I looked Your name was in the memorial book And what had become of all the things we planned I accepted the commiserations Of all your friends and your relations But there’s some things I still don’t understand [Chorus] E shape on 5th Fret slide to third fret You were so tall How could you fall? You were so tall How could you fall? [Verse] Some photographs of a summer’s day A little boy’s lifetime away Is all I’d left of everything we’ve done Like a pale moon in a sunny sky Death gazes down as I pass by To remind me that I’m but my father’s son [Chorus] E shape on 5th Fret slide to third fret I offer up to you This tri-bute I offer up to you This tank park salute
