DANYA
The Singaporienne: A Novel

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

6:51 PM I wait for the postman to bring me a letter

And I wait for the good Lord to make me feel better

And I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders

Family in crisis that only grows older

Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?

Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am broken, but I am hopin

Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am crying, a part of me's dying

But these are, these are the confessions of a broken heart

And I wear all your old clothes your old polo sweater
I dream of another you, one who would never
Never, leave me alone to pick up the pieces
A Daddy to hold me, that's what I needed

So why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?Why'd you have to go?

Daughter to father, daughter to father
I don't know you, but I still want to

Daughter to father, daughter to father
Tell me the truth, did you ever love me?

'Cause these are, these are the confessions of a broken heart
Of a broken heart

I love you
I love you
I love you
I ...!
I love you!

Daughter to father, daughter to father
I don't know you, but I still want to

Daughter to father, daughter to father
Tell me the truth, did you ever love me?
Did you ever love me?

These are the confessions of a broken heart
Ohh yeah

I wait for the postman to bring me a letter
