nxtofkin - last gasp كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
i’m sorry this song’s so intimate
if that bothers you, it’s one you might want to skip
it’s about my dad and how he died
he caught cancer at the age of sixty_nine
he was a complicated man
one part sophisticate, the other farmhand
never shy with an opinion
followed by a volley of puns
and i used to groan at every single one
[chorus]
every year when i look at the mirror
i see more of him looking back at me
and as i get older, even the slump of my shoulders
reminds me of him at sixty

[verse 2]
the call came in the еarly morning
and though i’d had ample warning
when my sister said, “you’d bеtter come quick”
i must admit, i didn’t quite believe it
i got busy booking all of our flights
let my wife and baby sleep through the night
when we landed late the next day
we walked through halls quiet and empty
and shuffled outside to get a taxi

[chorus]
after so many miles, used to hugs and smiles
getting ready for the big football game
there’s nothing as lonely as your hometown airport
when n0body knows your name

[verse 3]
surrounded by family and friends
he was getting very near the end
when he saw me, he said it was like a miracle
then he slipped into a sleep so final
after a couple of days had passed
he let out a giant gasp
it was the time you can’t take back
and together, our hands clasped
my father had finally passed
[chorus]
then he let out a roar and we fell to the floor
startled right out of our seats
my dad would have liked it that he left us laughing
when he found his peace
