We were so close yet so far away
Used to turn to dad and say
Can we see John today
To go an watch back to back of the phone shop
Once we going we could never stop
Or go for a walk round Manor House gardens
Wouldn't go on the grass
Wouldn't let the mud go near my Jordan's
Talk for hours yeah the hours went quick
He used tell me about when he was kid

So it started way back in 1954
A cheeky little blonde boy who they used to adore
His name was John
Yeah, One of is Own
7 brothers and sisters he was nevеr alone
Built a castle on a elеphant and called it his home
We Didn't talk much but when we could on the phone
Such a kind man Never raised his tone
But now that you're gone
I see pieces of my dad go

Wake shake take wait
Use to go to Muffin break
Lewisham shopping centre
You never had nothing to say
I remember your Harrington you gave me that day
Never been so grateful
Now it's too late to repay
So, I'm paying you back
These times remind me of listening to kinks and the clash
Sat in your flat
Nodding heads while feet tap
Reminiscing How could I even miss that-
Meal in Panas restaurant
Was last time I saw you
I wish I could've told you that I fucking adore you
But I can't, not by chance
It's a lance to the heart
Disconnected getting further apart
Need a second glance
Wonder what you're thinking
Always wonder what you think
That's why I'm sat here sampling the kinks
The old Kent road bowl, the signature stroll
Made the Mulrenan wall and the Mulrenan tone
Cos you touched hearts and left marks
Left marks on my dad
When you were younger stabbed him in the hand with a Pencil of course
Mischievous was the centre of wars
Yeah It's late and I'm playing these chords

196 Malyons road Sunday morning
Embrace every moment, Life was never boring
You Watched me grow like the leaves on stem
Whenever we were down, roughly 10 past 10
We'd meet, ladywell high street
And get a coffee again
Your jokes had us laughing like the bestest of friends
Depends didn't understand the political embeds
I had no clue it was coming to and end

We were so close
Yet so far away
I used to turn to turn to dad and say
Can we see John today
Even 5 minutes when the times finished
I'd do anything for one last minute
It's Deep within its
Family, I take it for granted it's like addition and sums
It feels different they're officially gone
I finished off the day went to go and play drums
Yeah my dad comes up and i know there's something wrong
He couldn't get it out until he says 'look son'
There was a pause, And then it begun
A tear in his eye sparked a flame in my mind
Tell me why
You're crying is someone dying?
Another pause kept me from denying
Another pause kept me from denying
