Well, someone should start a Father's Day thread, and why not me?
This is in loving memory of my Father 2/10/31-11/12/06. He lived two years after Mother and died the day after what would have been their 56th wedding anniversary.
Anyway, here's a song I often think of in relation to him, because he'd sing it in the worst way possible; on purpose, I might add.:sun
Cool Clear Water, by Marty Robbins
All day I've faced a barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water
Cool, clear, water
Keep a-movin, Dan, dontcha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
He spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waitin' there for me and you?
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water
Cool water
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
And carry on to water
Water, water, water
Keep a-movin, Dan, dontcha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
He spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waitin' there for me and you?
Cool, clear, water
Cool, clear, water
