Father

My father’s never waiting by the window
watching as his life goes by
he gets right in there with both hands and gets dirty
he’ll be that way until he dies
My father never gave me a curfew
this is just what he’d say
he said «always wear your runners in the night time
so you can just run, run away»
My father’s life was never ever easy
but he always made it look that way
he would take me to shoot arrows in the forest
and he told me that he loved me every day.
My father’s never waiting by the window
watching as his life goes by.
