Oh, My Father Lyrics

Emerson, Lake & Palmer Oh, My Father

[Verse 1]
Oh my father, I feel so sad
As I stared upon your grave
I weep for the things that you never had
And the past that you never paved

[Verse 2]
I'm crying for the things that I never said
And all the love that I never showed
For my heart is as deep as the ocean's bed
And it took a stone before my love freely flowed

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well my body is young and my eyes are old
With the wisdom of a loved one's death
But all my suffering and sorrow will turn to gold
Which I'll treasure with every breath

[Verse 4]
It's a bitter lеsson that I have learned
Seems a shamе it was too late for you
But the love between us will always be interred
In a place in my heart built for you
