Ten o'clock, it's time for bed
C'mon sleepyhead, no more stories
I kiss my palm and take a breath
And blow my love to him with all my strength

Come back, Dad, I wanna know
Were you blown away with my one blow?
Yes, I was babe, I fell down
Now go to sleep, you're safe and sound

Chorus:
Oh, Daddy, if you died
I would cry
Ask me why
And I'd say, "Cause I love you even though you lied."

Ten a.m., she screams my name
I pretend that I cannot hear them
I wait for silence, tiptoe up the stairs
I hope that their making up now

Come back, Dad, I wanna know
Why you hurt her when you love me so?
It's not you, babe, now run along
We're okay
There's nothing wrong

Chorus

Bridge:
Come back, come back don't go away
I know, I know you've made mistakes
Come back, come back don't go away
I know, I know you're not the same
Daddy, I see your pain

Ten p.m, I go to him
Sneaking in past visiting hours
I kiss his hand and hold my breath
And pray to God with all my strength

Come back, Dad, I need to know
That you're here for me and I'm not alone
I'm tired, babe, could you close the door
Honey, you don't need me anymore

Chorus
