Indigo Girls Daddys All Gone
"Daddy's All Gone" is a James Taylor song. A live IG version appears on "Shades of Indigo." If you ask me, that song alone is worth the price of the disc. Em really shines, I think. Especially on the word "train" that goes on forever... what SOUL... ooooh. And her solo guitar arrangement is cool, too. Daddy's All Gone. 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."
