[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

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la perte d'un être cher et les réflexions qui en découlent. À travers des souvenirs tendres et mélancoliques, l'auteur aborde la fragilité de la vie et l'inévitable réalité de la mort. On ressent un profond chagrin face à l'absence, ainsi qu'une quête de sens face à des promesses non tenues. L’atmosphère est empreinte de nostalgie, mêlant des images d'innocence et des rappels poignants de la vie qui s'écoule. Il s'agit d'un hommage sincère, une façon de rendre hommage à celui qui n'est plus là, tout en confrontant le vide laissé derrière lui. Ce reflet sur la famille et le passage du temps touche à quelque chose de universel dans nos vies.
