lyrics

Pardon me, sir, I know we’ve never met
But I know you like the back of your daughter’s hand
The same hand I’d love to wed someday

So I’ll ask you now and formally
Father could you spare your blessing to me?

To the father of a divorced daughter,
You have my word that I’ll never think to leave her
The same way you left her alone with her mother

And I promise I won’t be a weekend lover
She’ll only see every Saturday and Sunday just like her…

Father, I don’t mind
If it takes her sometime to learn to love again
I can wait forever
Unlike her father

I met her mother’s new partner
She knows he a good man; he’s nothing like her father
I wonder if she fears that every man in her life will leave her

I’m afraid that she can’t love me back
Just like the man she once called…

Father, I don’t mind
If it takes her sometime to learn to love again
I can wait forever
Unlike her father

(She looks just like her old man)

Been To The Future
by Joey Eppard

My biggest inspiration as a singer/songwriter. Amazing guitar work, great vocals, and an unparalleled eclecticism that is unheard of now. Seriously, listen to this album. The Ivory Sleep

In Time
by Intervals

If you pride yourself as a modern metal (I'm avoiding using "djent") guitarist and you haven't heard of Intervals, you should be simply ashamed. Best solos and leads in the genre, hands down. The Ivory Sleep

Euphony (EP)
by Nigel Tung

The EP that started it all for me. If you liked what you heard on Everchanging, you'll love Euphony. The Ivory Sleep
