He don't sleep here anymore
He don't eat here anymore
Three round the table
But the chairs are for four
Still for four
He don't live here
He don't live here no more

He don't talk here anymore
He don't laugh here anymore
Still I hope every moment
He's gonna walk in through that door
He don't live here
He don't live here no more

When he said goodnight
That very last evening
He promised us so hard
To try everything
To be still here the next day
Next morning
He was gone
He don't live here
He don't live here no more

Four man came here that night
And they carried him to a car
And I dreamed of two red lights
Fading in the snow, in the dark

He don't live here
He don't live here no more
He don't live here
Papa don't live here no more

I keep on wondering why
I keep wondering why
I keep gathering round
My little seals
Keep collecting
My little seals
All my seals
