Though he might not give me the love that you want
D A D
I'll love him the rest of my days

2. I said “Brother speak to me of passion
D A
You said never settle for nothin' less
G A D G

His smile, his anger, and his kisses
D A
Yeah I said “Sister don't you understand?

Any Cowboy Junkie fans out there? The ladys should like this one, but I must admit I like playing and singing this.

Great song, Tim. This song was the first one my daughter heard after she was born - it was in my tape deck when we brought her home from the hospital. Ironically, she was born nine years ago today. And I now realize that song may have been prophetic - she clearly does not care if she pleases daddy. A misguided angel, indeed.
By the way, the Cowboy Junkies are a very intriguing live act. Margo Timmins is chatty, funny and as sensual as she sounds.
Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down.
