A Night in Sympathy

[Acoustic guitar intro] [Verse 1] Life was going good and things were looking fine for me Til I went to the corner bar and they laughed at the scene [Pre-chorus] When that TV screen showed a picture of my dad It was blurry but I could still tell he was sad Then I had an epiphany [Verse 2] Years ago when I was younger I had a bad dream My father was never around, he had never been seen [Chorus] And that TV screen that kept flashing his picture I swear it was really him, that I am for sure Then I had an epiphany Of my night in sympathy [Verse 3] Growing up my dad always had friends hanging around I never noticed the things they would leave around the house [Chorus] When that TV screen showed the letters of his name It was blurry, but I could feel such rising shame Then I had an epiphany A night in sympathy [Verse 4] The police came knocking at the door there and then His friends weren't around and my dad was arrested [Chorus] And that TV screen that kept flashing his picture I swear it was really him, that I am for sure Then I had an epiphany Of my night in sympathy When that TV screen showed the letters of his name It was blurry, but I could feel such rising shame Then I had an epiphany A night in sympathy [Chorus] And that TV screen that kept flashing his picture I swear it was really him, that I am for sure Then I had an epiphany Of my night in sympathy When that TV screen showed the letters of his name It was blurry, but I could feel such rising shame Then I had an epiphany A night in sympathy A night in sympathy Oh Please don't feel bad for me Or my night in sympathy A night in sympathy Oh Please don't feel bad for me Or my night in sympathy [Ending piano]
