When you look into her eyes can you still see yourself?
The reflection got distorted by and by
Helplessly you watched her as she turned away
Yesterday you held her in your arms

Now you’re no longer needed
And all you’ve got is faded memories
But you need to hear her voice
And you want back to something that will never be

She’s so far away
Your words are of no meaning
You have brought her up this way
Now you’ve grown so far apart
Everything she once loved now
is gone and buried deep inside her heart

The daughter and the aging fool
A story that that we’ve all heard before
Governed by the ancient rules
Constantly preparing for the war

The daughter wants you to get on
So she will bite her tongue and look the other way
Then she will turn to me
And I will try to give her comfort as she says

“She’s so far away
Her words have lost all meaning
but they’re hurting anyway”
The thoughtless words that keeps the two of you apart
Turn to teardrops and fall down into a pool of anger deep inside her heart

Turn to teardrops and fall down into a pool of anger deep inside her heart
