From the recording Odds & Ends
Lyrics
Pick me up, put me down
Olay with me on the ground
Lift me up, drop me down
Take me here and all around
Climb a tree, let me be
If I fall, it's up to me
Hold the wheel, now I feel
Life's gone by, it's so surreal
Daddy, please don't go away
Take my hand, come and play
Daddy, please don't go away
Oh, go away
Daddy, please don't go away.
Take my hand, come and play
Daddy, please don't go away
Don't go away
All I do is all for you
Child of light with spirit bright
Don't cry, don't ask why
Dry your eyes, don't be so shy
Try to be kind and free
Tell the truth and honor me
Be a man with a plan
Grow up tall and never fall
Daddy, please don't go away
Take my hand, come and play
Daddy, please don't go away
Don't go away, go away.
Make friends till the end
Bide your time and drink good wine
Make love, not war
Open your heart and trust that part
Try to see all you'll be
Accept this truth and be set free
So long, be strong
Live your life and smile along
Daddy, please don't go away
Take my hand, come and play
Daddy, please don't go away
Don't, go away, oh go away
Daddy, please don't go away
Take my hand, come and play
Daddy, please don't go away
Don't go, don't go away
