Words, music, vocals, guitar - Patrick Clark

I wrote this about me and my dad. I used the word "babe" instead of "dad" to give it a more universal appeal.

Song Lyrics:

[b]Verse[/b]
the sun is sinking down now, behind the trees
the house is still and quiet, it's just you and me
we haven't talked like this, in a long, long time
that's not your fault, baby, and I don't think it's mine

[b]Chorus[/b]
time just slips away, it's got better things to do
it doesn't suffer fools, not fools like me and you


[b]Verse[/b]
i think i know now, what you had to do
things that looked so easy, never were for you
but everything's alright now, babe, i see the truth inside
we made it home before it got dark, and i'm glad we took that ride



[b]Verse[/b]
so close your eyes now baby, i'll sit here for awhile
you dream those dreams that warm you, the ones that make you smile
i'll let myself out quietly, i'll be sure to lock the door
i'll come again next sunday, we can talk some more


time just slips away, it's got better things to do
it doesn't suffer fools, not fools like me and you
time just slips away, it's got better things to do
it don't wait for me, and it don't wait for you
