I guess I'll never know my father,
F            Fm         C
My memory don't go back that far
F         Fm                           C
They just put me on a train bound for somewhere
    G                      F                     Fm
And all these years later a lump comes to my heart

C         E                 F  Fm
I met her once at Waterloo Station
C         E                 F  Fm
Said I reminded her of him
C         E                                F  Fm
I spoke to my sister then and sang to the nation
C         E                         F  Fm
Well I guess I just lost track of the years

Even angels have bad days

And if you're alone you never really are
C               G               F      Fm
Just know had circumstances been different
C          G            F      Fm
I would be with you, love mama

C         E                 F  Fm
I found her number in the library
C         E                 F  Fm
I must have dialed it a thousand times
C         E                 F  Fm
But I still get the same answer
C         E                 F
The old lady who lived here, she disappeared
   Fm
Maybe she died

She said she had a brother in Virginia Waters
C         E                 F  Fm
He played the fiddle on the side
C         E                                 F  Fm
She said maybe that's where you get your music (uh huh)
C         E                         F  Fm
But that's also where the trail just died

So if you hear this Jean Russel, or Jimmy Palace?
C         E                     F  Fm
Just know I'm out here doing fine
C         E                     F  Fm
And maybe if the moment finds you
C         E                     F  Fm
You could always come my way or drop me a line
