Your wife's gonna have your little girl
And I was not questioned.
I bombed the interview for the position.
She's gonna sit you down,
She'll be telling you a story
When suddenly she'll know the baby's ready.
And I've never felt so cold.
Why can I not let go?
Why can I not let go?
I've never felt so old;
He would have been eight years old,
She would have been eight years old.
Your wife had your little boy
And I'll bet that he loves peaches,
I'll be that he learns everything you teach him.
He could have been mine too,
Except that my body failed you
And so you found fresh soil to plant your fruit.
And I've never felt so cold.
Why can I not let go?
Why can I not let go?
I've never felt so old;
She would have been eight years old,
He would have been eight years old.
Oh, I don't expect you to understand.
Oh, you never held it in your hand.
Oh, it troubles me I can't let go.
Oh, guess I'm just a primate wearing clothes.
And I've never felt so alone
Here singing to your ghost.
Apes sing to their babies, too, ya know.
Oh, the ache settled in my bones.
Why can I not let go?
I'm a primate wearing clothes.
Oh, your daddy'd never understand,
Oh, you fell into the palm of my hand.
Oh, all I can give you is this lullaby.
Wish I could have said hello before I had to let you go.
