Down The Stream - Calva Louise

Sorry, Father

I have been away

I’m leaving tomorrow

Going out of my shell

I keep forgetting to tell you

How much I care

But I still remember

Your words every day

Now I got my back against the wall

It’s just a bad day and nothing more

But I’m going, so so slowly

I’m, I’m swimming down the stream, the stream of my life

What I’m seeing, I know you’ve seen twice

I’m swimming down the stream, the stream of my dreams

When all is good, I start to drown

I’m sorry, Dad

I will call you tonight

Even though there’s not much to talk about right now

I’ve not been able to show you yet

What I have been doing for years

Still preparing myself

For the endurance, for the challenge

For the dreams we both share

And I wanna return home

With a bit more than just hope

With a bit more than the debt

I know you don’t want me to repay

And now I got my back against the wall

But it’s just a bad day and nothing more

I’m still going on, just like you taught me

I’m, I’m swimming down the stream, the stream of my life

What I’m seeing, I know you’ve seen twice

I’m swimming down the stream, the stream of my dreams

When all is good, I start to drown

I’m swimming down the stream, the stream of my life

What I’m seeing, I know you’ve seen twice

I’m swimming down the stream, the stream of my dreams

When all is good, I start to drown
