lyrics

Got so many things that I got to do
There's not enough hours in the week
Some things get pushed back indefinitely
That's not all that unique
One of these days I'm going to write you a letter
And give you all the details
But you see I don't have time for it now
I'm running off the rails

There was dust on the piano
'Cause it never got played
Dust on the piano and rain on my parade

I guess you heard all these stories before
Your faith in me is shot
Just for once, you say, I'd like to hear you say
My life is not fraught
I promise I will call you next week
And if I don't you can kick from behind
I know it's something you've been wanting to do
And I promise I won't mind

Bring the rain down
Bring the rain down like dust on me

I could have been a better father
Maybe visit you once or twice
I bet you would have loved me a lot
Even thought your dad was nice
I'll try to get there sometime real soon
In the summer or maybe the fall
In the meantime will you think of me often
And I promise one day I will call
