Daddy

He smelt the briny ocean when he was seventeen
Just said goodbye, cause sailors never cry
When the life ashore became no more
Than just a point of dad, he tried to realize
The words the old man said

Dad, but it's there where I belong
Daddy, once I'll be back to see

But somewhere in his heart, there is a start of yearning
For the land he left behind, that
