[Guitar Figure 1]
All my father's legacy is handed down on angel wings

A bittersweet melody is now mine to sing

Every precious memory and broken-hearted tragedy

Will walk into eternity but not fade away

[Guitar Figure 1]
How do years so far away so suddenly evaporate?

[Guitar Figure 2]
Fortune smiles with teeth of jade and the greediest eyes

How I long for that embrace, the strongest arms and troubled face

Smokey air and awkward grace that made me feel safe
