when your father died
in the water in the morning
he had said goodbye

because you felt him pass right through your skin

it was your birthday the next day
but he kept it away so we didn't have to wait
when i'm on a plane i'll think of you
and what you're doing when you go to school
because i don't see you much
i don't see you much

you have a brother and a younger sister
but they'll come to the house if we keep them out
holidays and funerals and birthdays when we're told
tell them who can spend the most on your class next fall

but i have no brother, just a younger sister
but we'll sleep in the same house
until she wants me out

but we don't see them much
we don't see you much
