lyrics
Father I wish I could see your eyes
As they gauged to sea up ahead
And calmed the nerves of the weary
With the words that you said
Father I wish I could hear your prayers
As the bow hits the mouth of the harbour
As you leaned on the knife as it
Broke the skin of the mackerel
Father I wish I could hear your excitement
With every trap pulled aboard
With every invention and experiment
And every trick you explored
Father I wish I could hear your wisdom
Ingrained in the stories you told
I replay them most nights
Yet they never grow old
Father I wish I could hear your laughter
It was my most fun to make
I still remember all the lines
That would make you break
Father I wish I could sit in silence
As the oceans passes under our feet
Shades of blue and yellow in your eyes
Where the sun and ocean meet
Father I wish I could hear your songs
As they would please the seabirds high
Bring smiles to our faces
With every wave that passed us by
Father I wish that you could see me
And I could see you
And I could see you
If I could only see you
As they gauged to sea up ahead
And calmed the nerves of the weary
With the words that you said
Father I wish I could hear your prayers
As the bow hits the mouth of the harbour
As you leaned on the knife as it
Broke the skin of the mackerel
Father I wish I could hear your excitement
With every trap pulled aboard
With every invention and experiment
And every trick you explored
Father I wish I could hear your wisdom
Ingrained in the stories you told
I replay them most nights
Yet they never grow old
Father I wish I could hear your laughter
It was my most fun to make
I still remember all the lines
That would make you break
Father I wish I could sit in silence
As the oceans passes under our feet
Shades of blue and yellow in your eyes
Where the sun and ocean meet
Father I wish I could hear your songs
As they would please the seabirds high
Bring smiles to our faces
With every wave that passed us by
Father I wish that you could see me
And I could see you
And I could see you
If I could only see you
