Indigo Girls – Daddys All Gone lyrics

Don't have much to say
Thought I'd call you up anyway
Just to try and tell you the way
That I feel today -
Oh, I miss you baby.
Sure, I'm on the road
I don't need to say much more
Just the same old well known stranger
That I was before -
Seems like yesterday.
Daddy's all gone
He's just a halfway home
He's holding on to the telephone
Singing "Please -
Don't let the show go on."
There's a bus every other hour
Even a midnight train
But that don't leave me the power
To see your face again -
It's not that simple anymore.
You see, there's a room full of smiling faces
And there's a man standing by the door
When he says it's time we take our places
And get down on the floor -
Oh, I'd like to kill him, baby.
Daddy's all gone
He's just a halfway home
He's hanging on to the microphone
Singing "Please -
Don't let the show go on."
