D-DU-UDU

(Verse 1)

His footprints are fading away from the beach

We're not a family to pray or to preach

But daddy's best friend took a handful of pills and

now he's at a podium making a speech

Yesterday night after dark

He carefully wrote his remarks

but everyone said what he put on his page

so he threw it away and went straight from the heart

(Chorus)

I thought this was a party

But all my friends are leaving

And I still want to play

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

You wrecked me when you stepped out

Cause you're the wounded healer

And you're supposed to stay

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

(Verse 2)

A year's bottle in a bucket of trash

It'll tip over the more that it stacks

Didn't notice it till now but dad's been moving

Slower every time we go play catch

I'm scared of the day when he'll carry a cane

I carry his dream, I carry his name

And when papa is gone he will never be gone because

the sound of our sneeze is the same

I say God bless

I hear your voice in mine

And I want to stop time

Like a carnival ride

I don't know what I'm saying but I mean it (repeat)

(Chorus)

I thought this was a party

But all my friends are leaving

And I still want to play

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

You wrecked me when you stepped out

Cause you're the wounded healer

And you're supposed to stay

Whoa-oh whoa-oh
