My Father's House

A song: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7343758 My Father's House Copyright Corinne Curcio February 16, 2009 My father's house His the only voice heard We all were quiet So he wouldn't be disturbed When I was young And under his roof All his words were Absolute Truth Daddy said "This is the way things are done" Daddy said "Only men are strong" Daddy said "Just listen to me I will teach you right from wrong" At thirteen I wouldn't conform I turned a deaf ear To his emotional storms Daddy yelled "No - Loud Rock and Roll Daddy yelled "No - my daughter's not *****" Daddy said "No - liberal ideas" "I won't have that around here" When I grew up And left his home It was then I made A life of my own Alzheimers turned him Meek as a child He finally became Sweet and mild And I said "Yes - I'll bring you to the doctor" And I said "Yes - they'll take care of you here" And I said "Yes - everything's all right From now on you have nothing to fear
