It was a night, yeah, the kind of night   Left me pacing 'cross the floor.   It was a dream, like those other dreams,   So many times before.      I went back to the old town,   To the streets I used to roam,   And I looked into my daddy's eyes   And asked that fatal question, "why'd   You have to go? "      You had to go.         There was a time when life was good   And everything felt so right.   I don't know why, I never understood   Why you left us on that night.      I went back, to that day when you left us on our own -   Now I look into my baby's eyes   And I just know there is no way   I'd ever go.      I'll never go.         Take me to the mountainside,   Far away from here,   Where my eyes are open wide -   No one gets too near.
