Nina's Song

How come
All of the best dads are gone?
The only ones left
Are all dumb
Hope I'm wrong again
Wrong again
Wrong

There's our mum
The last time we checked
She was young
But all she's got left
Has gone numb
And she's gone again
Gone again
Gone

There's nothing wrong
With a song
Sung into battle, oh
We need you now
Don't leave us now
What a palaver, oh
What a
Don't leave me

Holding the candle too long
Burning my fingers and thumbs
Holding a candle too long
How can losing one leave you
Half as strong?

How dare
Anyone sit in your chair?
But somebody needs to be there
How we gonna get
Gonna get there?

But where
Is our guy?
Don't care if he's lonely or shy
Just two legs
A shirt and a time
We'd get by
By, by
Hi, hi

And now you're gone
We don't belong
Where do we follow?
How can you say
Another day
When there's no tomorrow?
Tomorrow
Don't leave me

Holding the candle too long
Burning my fingers and thumbs
Holding a candle too long
How can losing one leave you
Half as strong?

There's nothing wrong
With a song
Sung into battle, oh
We need you now
Don't leave us now
What a palaver, oh
What a
Don't leave me

Holding the candle too long
Burning my fingers and thumbs
Holding a candle too long
How can losing one leave you
Half as strong?

Burning my fingers and my thumbs
