You say I wasn’t there You say I didn’t care You say I don’t mean anything to you As a father I tried to teach you You were my shadow young and spry You were the apple of my eye Now this is the song that I sing cause its The Call That Never Rings I tried to make you a better man I tried to take you by the hand I tried to show you right from wrong I tried to make you strong You were my shadow young and spry You were the apple of my eye Now this is the song that I sing cause its The Call That Never Rings You keep your distance never reach out Not sure what all this is about You say you don’t want to be like me Son you seem to not see You were my shadow young and spry You were the apple of my eye Now this is the song that I sing cause its The Call That Never Rings I have had my struggles, my pains But even through all the strains I have never stopped loving But again I hear nothing You were my shadow young and spry You were the apple of my eye Now this is the song that I sing cause its The Call That Never Rings
