1994
I haven't cried since my father died
He took a piece of me when he flew away
You all think you know who I am
But did you know I killed a man back in '94?
I know you're with me tonight
I know you're with me tonight
I had a chance to spend my last days with him
But I chose to turn away, blinded by reality
I saw him in one of my dreams
He was the captain of a ship sailing towards the light
I know you're with me tonight
I know you're with me tonight
