When My Father Called
+1986 Mark Cohen

G G/F# Em
When my father called this morning
C D
Woke me from a dream
G G/F# Em
Childhood friends were all around me
C D
It was peaceful, safe, and clean
Em Bm
Then the phone broke through the vision
C G
And I heard his voice
Em Bm
Seeming somehow so much younger
C D
Almost like a little boy's
Can't recall what he was saying
Something 'bout the snow
In his voice I heard an echo
Of a time so long ago
Suddenly I saw him sitting
In a far-off place
Just a nineteen-year-old soldier
Tears running down his face

C D
In a scrapbook once I saw
C D Em
That telegram they'd sent across the sea:
C D
"Pop died yesterday; come home"
C D E
The Army sent him back from Germany

I have only seen in pictures
That man I've never known
But my father is his son
And his name is now my own
I don't know what passed between them
As that young boy grew
I've never asked, he's rarely spoken
Though many times I wish I knew

G G/F# Em
Things get blurred by time and distance
C D
Hardly seen at all
G Bm Am D
But love was sharp and clear that morning
C D G
When my father called
