As violent things from vibrant dreams awaken me from deadend sleep And drag me to my tired feet Her dying breath against my cheek I weep And I pray that you’ll remember me for the man that I tried to be Not for the wrong I've done As a broken man learns of a father's love My darling daughter I assure you I had nothing to lose until the day I had you Rest your heavy head on mine Look to the stars And look at all we left behind
