You will never know! This is a letter to an absent father an absent man. I post this on behalf of a beautiful friend on behalf of a beautiful woman an inspiration. who you will never know! Some men they walk away, they turn their backs, and might feel moved for a moment. You didn’t walk away, cause you were never there. You’ll never know. She still grieves almost daily. for the man that caused so much pain. Even when you were stood there in that room, you were never there. You never walked away, perhaps that's why a part of you still remains. All those times they tried to get away. and more than once she, got so wasted, till she nearly faded away. But something inside her kept her moving on. as you spiralled away an absent man. Some men they walk away, they turn their backs, and might feel moved for a moment. But you didn’t walk away, cause you were never there. You’ll never know! Those days when you weren’t with a lover, they were punctuated with violence and blame. and the sadness and fear of a little girls shame, her plea’s and her need, so powerless to intervene. A burden of responsibility, inadvertently laid down on that little girl. She just wanted to protect her mother and sister, when its you that should have carried that load. And your gangster ways, games you played, amphetamine and alcohol fueled rage, who say’s that crime doesn’t pay cause there was this little family who paid every day, in every way. she still dreams of gun shots in the night. and the moves from house to house and the sleeping in cars and refuges and food vouchers from charities, boxes of second-hand toys left at the door. Felt like Christmas Some men they walk away, they turn their backs, and might feel moved for a moment. But you didn’t walk away, cause you were never there. Some men they walk away, they turn their backs, and might feel moved for a moment. But you didn’t walk away, cause you were never there. You’ll never know! In closing now, I want you to know that you’ll never know! That this is all despite you! How well she can stand on her own. and though she doesn’t have all the material thrills a better parent you will never know! And you’ll never know her children Their smiles, how beautiful and well rounded they are you will never know the peace she now has And the love she can give. Some men they walk away, they turn their backs, and might feel moved for a moment. But you didn’t walk away, cause you were never there. Some men they walk away, they turn their backs, and might feel moved for a moment. But you didn’t walk away, cause you were never there. Absent man. You’ll never know!
