Posthumous Forgiveness

Ever since I was a small boy

No one else compared to you, no way

I always thought heroes stayed close

Whenever troubled times arose

I didn't know, ain't always how it goes

Every single word you told me

I believed without a question, always

To save all of us

You told us both to trust

But now I know you only saved yourself

Did you think I'd never know?

Never wise-up as I grow?

And you could store an ocean in the

Holes in any of the explanations that you gave

And while you still had time, you had a chance

But you decided to take all your sorry's to the grave

Did you think I'd never know?

Never wise-up as I grow?

Did you hope I'd never doubt?

Never one day work it out?

You were runnin' for cover

Doin' like any other

Fallen out with a lover

You didn't know that I suffered

What a thing to discover

If there was time to recover

One on one with each other

Just a boy and a father

What I'd give for another

Everything that I have

I wouldn't need us for long

I'd never speak of the time

That you left us alone

Me and Steve, on our own

I wanna tell you about the time

Wanna tell you about my life

Wanna play you all my songs

Learn the words, sing along

Wanna tell you about the time

I was in Abbey Road

Or the time that I had

Mick Jagger on the phone

I thought of you when he spoke

Wanna tell you about that time

Wanna tell you about my life

Wanna play you all my songs

And hear your voice sing along

I wanna say it's alright

You're just a man after all

And I know you had demons

I got some of my own

I think you passed them along

I wanna tell you about the time

Wanna tell you about my life

Wanna play you all my songs

And hear your voice sing along
