Tell me why you’re never here.
Why you’d rather drink a beer
Instead of loving me.
Tell me why you never write.
I’ve lost sight
Of what a father should be.
Tell me why you turned your back.
Mother had a heart attack,
She died on Christmas Eve.
Tell me why you chose another life.
Have you found another wife
Or new children to care for and feed?
Tell Me Why
You’re never here.
I will go to the fridge
And fetch you a beer,
If it means that you will come back.
Tell me what I must do
To rekindle your love for me,
Like new.
