[00:29.81]You fold his hands and smooth his tie
[00:32.55]You gently lift his chin
[00:35.20]Were you really so blind
[00:38.09]And unkind to him?
[00:40.92]Can't help the itch to touch, to kiss
[00:43.27]To hold him once again
[00:46.36]Now to close his eyes
[00:49.25]Never open them
[00:52.29]A shadow past, a shadow past
[00:55.29]Yearning, yearning for the fool
[01:00.67]It called a home
[01:06.45]All things he never did
[01:12.23]Are left behind
[01:16.62]All the things his mama
[01:20.75]Wished he'd bear in mind
[01:23.49]And all his dad had hoped he'd know
[01:28.87]
[01:34.46]The talks you never had
[01:36.61]The Saturdays you never spent
[01:39.80]All the grown-up places
[01:43.69]You never went
[01:46.08]And all of the crying
[01:48.17]You wouldn't understand
[01:50.95]You just let him cry
[01:53.85]Make a man out of him
[01:57.53]A shadow past, a shadow past
[01:59.87]Yearning, yearning for the fool
[02:05.36]It called a home
[02:11.14]All things he ever wished
[02:17.16]Are left behind
[02:21.75]All the things his mama
[02:25.98]Did to make him mind
[02:28.77]And how his dad had hoped he'd grow
[02:34.33]All things he ever lived
[02:39.85]Are left behind
[02:44.19]All the fears that ever
[02:48.28]Flickered through his mind
[02:51.07]All the sadness that
[02:54.16]He'd come to own
[02:56.80]
[03:13.74]A shadow past, a shadow past
[03:16.99]Yearning, yearning for the fool
[03:21.97]It called a home
[03:33.53]And whistles through the ghosts
[03:38.35]Still left behind
[03:44.69](it) whistles through the ghosts
[03:49.42]Still left behind
[03:55.88]It whistles through the ghosts
[04:00.92]Still left behind
[04:07.60]Oh
