[Chorus]
Daddy, please don't go
I couldn't face this lonely world without you
Father, please don't go
I couldn't walk this mortal coil without you here

Daddy, please don't go
I couldn't face this lonely world without you
Father, please don't go
I couldn't walk this mortal coil..

[Verse 1]
Through these dark and empty streets
Past the strangers with their secrets wrapped around them
Like a cloak; I long for you
In the silence of their grief in the sadness in their eyes
I creep around these broken walls and long for you

[Chorus]
Daddy, please don't go
I couldn't face this lonely world without you
Father, please don't go
I couldn't walk this mortal coil...

[Verse 2]
I move past a man without a face
Who turns away as though my touch
Would be the thing to bring him down, oh so down
As he starts to disappear
I think I hear him call my name
And whisper, "Daughter, don't you understand by now?"
Even as I walk these quiet streets
You call to me
Even as I walk these tired feet
You speak to me
[Chorus]
Daddy, please don't go
I couldn't face this lonely world without you
Father, please don't go
I couldn't walk this mortal coil without you here

Daddy, please don't go
I couldn't face this lonely world without you
Father, please don't go
I couldn't walk this mortal coil l without you
