lyrics

Holding my hand like you never did
Lifting me up, spinning me around
Kicking, screaming, laughing like a kid
Gently placing me back on the ground

Oh Daddy, why did you leave me?
Come back please
What did I do wrong?

On the Ferris wheel at the funfair
Loving, trusting that you’ll keep me safe
Of your fears and flaws I’m unaware
Five years old, a happy, singing waif

Oh Daddy, why did you leave me?
Come back please
What did I do wrong?

You took me back to her that summer’s day
She was ill and cruel as you well knew
Against your carelessness I now inveigh
You don’t understand what I went through

Oh Daddy, why did you leave me?
Come back please
What did I do wrong?

Forty years have passed and I still cry
An abandoned child still haunts my soul
I don’t remember well our last goodbye
But I have never since felt quite whole

Oh Daddy, why did you leave me?
Come back please
I did nothing wrong.
