[00:00.00]Father / Daughter Dialogue - Loudon Wainwright III
[00:09.72]Dearest daddy with your songs
[00:13.64]Do you hope to right your wrongs
[00:17.56]You can't undo what has been done
[00:21.79]To all your daughters and your son
[00:25.97]The facts are in and we have found
[00:30.08]That basically you're not around
[00:34.43]Dearest daddy try as you might
[00:38.55]Oh you are a just a tied
[00:42.55]You sing of my mother and me
[00:46.91]Somewhat sentimentally
[00:50.89]You sing of a father and son
[00:55.12]When all you do from him is run
[00:59.11]You like to think that things are okay
[01:03.09]By singing things that you should say
[01:07.52]Dearest daddy with your songs
[01:11.66]Do you hope to right your wrongs
[01:23.16]Darling daughter can't you see
[01:26.92]The guy singing the songs ain't me
[01:31.02]He's someone people with I was
[01:34.79]What I can't do this dude does
[01:39.48]And if the songs seem slightly pat
[01:43.50]I know life's messier than that
[01:47.72]They're just songs and life is real
[01:51.37]They're just my version how I feel
[01:56.00]And you don't feel the same I know
[02:00.20]How it went down or it should go
[02:04.39]My mistakes you label wrongs
[02:08.50]I expiate my guilt with songs
[02:12.66]Why I'm uptight or not around
[02:16.62]Those whys continue to confound
[02:21.29]Darling daughter can't you see
[02:24.99]The guy singing the songs ain't me
