Your daughter led me through the hall
We pass the photos hiding a pale wall
Paternity eluded me
You kiss my red cheek and look over my clothes
What does it mean
If I can't shed a dream?
I've worn it so long
You know how I can be wrong
What does it mean
If I can't shed a dream?
I'll wrap it up well
Present myself, you can tell
Who can translate a biography
Carved on a stone cast in the sea?
Your daughter's eyes respect, defer
So you brush off my character
What does it mean
If I can't shed a dream?
I've worn it so long
You know how I can be wrong
What does it mean
If I can't shed a dream?
I'll wrap it up well
Present myself, you can tell
What does it mean
If I can't shed a dream?
I'll wrap it up well, I'll wrap it up well,
I'll wrap it up well, you can tell, you can tell,
Tell me you can tell
Oh oh oh
