I guess I'll never know my father
My memory don't go back that far
They just put me on a train bound for somewhere
And all these years later a lump comes to my heart
I met her once at Waterloo station
Said I reminded her of him
I spoke to my sister and then sang to the nation
I guess I just lost track of the years
Even angels have bad days
And if you're alone you never really are
Just know had circumstances been kinda different
I would have been with you, Love Mama
I found her number in the library
I must have dialed it a thousand times
But I still get the same answer
The old lady who live here she disappeared or maybe she died
She said she had a brother in Virginia Waters
He played the fiddle on the side
She said maybe that's where you get your music
But that's also where the trail just dried
So if you hear this Jean Russel or Jimmy Palace
Just know that I'm out there doing just fine
And maybe if the moment does find you
You could always come my way or drop me a line
