[Intro] [Solitary, intricate nylon-string acoustic guitar arpeggio] [Plaintive, sorrowful Celtic flute melody enters] [Strings quietly swell in the background] [Verse 1] [Soft acoustic guitar and low strings only] Safe in your arms, I felt so safe and warm Buy me toys, buy me cars, gimme some money (yeah!) I never thought about how hard you worked then I was young, I was blind, breaking your choices Oh father now, father now I see how much you would give Oh father now, father now you made all my days [Pre-Chorus] [Tempo shifts gear] [Sudden explosion of fast, driving world percussion and hand drums] [Acoustic guitar transitions to aggressive, fast strumming] Oh father now, father now I told you just go away Oh father now, father now I wasted all of my time [Chorus] [Massive, fast-paced folk-rock climax] [Soaring, frantic violin counter-melody flying over the rhythm] Oh dad, I'm so sorry, come back, I need you Whoa, dad, I'm so sorry, come back, I need you Dad, I am sorry, come back, I need you Whoa, dad, I'm so sorry, come back, I need you [Bridge] [High-energy instrumental break] [Frantic, complex duet between a wooden flute and a solo violin] [Driving bassline and rapid percussion pounding] [Verse 2] [Rhythm remains driving but pulls back slightly for the vocals] And now the time comes I am raising my boy He wants this, he wants that, crying out loudly And maybe when he won't just hear my feelings I can see, I can see, I am his father Oh father now, father now I deal with all of his fits Oh father now, father now he opens my life Oh father now, father now he loves me all of the time Oh father now, father now I miss you all of my time [Chorus] [Full epic instrumental ensemble at maximum energy] [Wordless choir harmonies backing the vocals] Oh dad, I just wish you'd come back, I miss you Whoa, dad, I just wish you'd come back, I miss you Dad, I just wish you'd come back, I miss you Cause you are gone now, oh dad I know you are proud You are gone now, oh dad I know you are proud Dad, I just know that you're proud [Outro] [Music suddenly cuts back to the lone acoustic guitar arpeggio] [A single, fading violin note rings out into silence] [End]
