Moira Smiley - Dressed in Yellow

1.I met my father all dressed in yellow

Take heed take warning, daughter

And the light was soft and strange around him

There are many things to know.

2.Hello father, how can you be here?

Take heed take warning, daughter

You have been gone for these 3 years

There are many things to know.

3.And such sweetness in your smile

Take heed take warning, daughter

Do you bring good news from the dead?

There are many things to know

4.Oh father oh father, I could not trust you

I had no warning, father

You anger closed the door of my young heart

There are many things to know

5.But as I dream you in sunny yellow

Take heed take warning, daughter

I know my heart can open wider

There are many things to know

I look across at my young father, 
unsure of what to do or say

My fear tells me I must ignore him. 
My loves & labors take me away.

But as I close my cloak of labor, 
I catch his eye once more in case

And there is laughter coming through me. 
And there is laughter on his face.

6.Oh he looked up, yes, he laughed with me

I need no warning, father

And in that laughter, sweet forgiveness

That is what I came to know.

      The father's advices still continue to be heard after his death.
