Texty: Soundtrack Artists. Loose Ends.

Sukie-

I never knew my father-
he left so long ago.
I never knew my father-
but I knew enough to know
what I was missing.
And everything I felt then,
these feelings that I knew...
everything I felt hen,
I swore I'd work it through-
another morning. Every problem....
all my life- another morning.

I close my eyes, I fade to black,
I hide my face, I turn my back
and there are these loose ends
to deal with, loose ends...
I clear my throat, I give a smile,
act unconcerned when all the while
they're haunting me- loose ends
to tie up, loose ends.
Like buttons and bows
we collect them from family and friends...
loose ends, angel, loose ends.

I put the past behind me when it came underfoot-
I put the past behind me, but the past would not stay put;
so I was learning. I lived my little dramas

with all the world my stage-
and when the plot grew tangled,
I saved the final page for some other morning...
but all to quickly, it arrives- that other morning.

I close my eyes, I fade to black,
I hide my face, I turn my back
and there are these loose ends
to deal with, loose ends...
I clear my throat, I give a smile,
act unconcerned when all the while
they're haunting me- loose ends to tie up, loose ends.

Did you know that you were blessed
just having someone to call dad?
Did you tell him that you loved
him each and every chance you had?
I hope you did...I hope you did because
the things you didn't do have this way of haunting you..

I never knew my father- but angel,
I knew yours. And whatever's left behind,
well you can bear. You were loved...
you were loved...you are loved. No loose ends there.
