For My Father Lyrics

Melanie For My Father

I'm gonna spend all my money
Gonna spend all my time
I'm gonna spend the music
Cause the music is mine
I'm gonna spend myself
For the sake of the rhyme
But I'll save a little bit for my Father
Gonna save a little bit for my Father

I'm gonna pack my suitcase
Gonna run to the sea
I'm gonna run as far
As I can away from me
I'm gonna take comfort
In the town of the tree
I would stop but then I wouldn't go farther
And that would really break the heart of my Father

Gonna spend all my money
Gonna spend all my time
I'm gonna spend the music
Cause the music is mine
And I'm gonna spend myself
For the sake of the rhyme
But I'll save a little bit for my Father

I'm gonna pack my suitcase
Gonna run to the sea
And I'm gonna run as far
As I can away from me
I'm gonna take comfort
In the town of the tree
I would stop but then I wouldn't go farther
And that would really break the heart of my Father
