Lyrics Mother Tongue - Michael Weston King

You and I speak the mother tongue
We don't know where Daddy's gone
Where he's gone or where he's been
Or if we'll see him again

He didn't hate you, he just ignored you
I will describe his face for you
His face, for you, is ashen grey
Afraid of what you'll say

Oh Daddy are you coming home?
Oh Daddy are you coming home?
Are you coming home?

He loved us once, he loves us now
You must hold onto this truth somehow
Sometimes it fades, and I can't recall
The time he loved us all

And every time the phone rings
There's a chance he could be calling
To tell us that he's sorry
And he was wrong for leaving
And I want so much to tell him
That we would all forgive him if he just came home

Oh Daddy are you coming home?
Oh Daddy are you coming home?
Are you coming home?

I don't have faith in this world
We are just another boy and girl
A boy and girl on a single spree
And it's the mothers tongue we feel
Oh Daddy are you coming home?
Oh Daddy are you coming home?
Are you coming home?
Are you coming home?
Are you coming home?
You and I speak the mother tongue
We don't know where Daddy's gone
Where he's gone, where he's been
Or if we'll see him again
You and I speak the mother tongue
We don't know where Daddy's gone
Where he's gone, where he's been
Or if we'll see him again
