[00:26.47]My father had a Randall knife
[00:29.70]My mother gave it to him
[00:32.68]When he went off to World War II
[00:35.53]To save us all from ruin
[00:40.91]Now if you've ever held a Randall knife
[00:44.18]You know my father well
[00:47.48]And if a better blade was ever made
[00:50.35]It was probably forged in hell
[00:56.23]My father was a good man
[00:59.18]He was a lawyer by his trade
[01:02.54]And only once did I ever see
[01:04.74]Him misuse the blade
[01:10.21]Well it almost cut his thumb off
[01:13.58]When he took it for a tool
[01:16.61]Now the knife was made for darker things
[01:20.25]And you could not bend the rules
[01:27.21]Well he let me take it camping once
[01:30.20]On a Boy Scout jamboree
[01:33.60]And I broke a half an inch off
[01:36.16]Trying to stick it in a tree
[01:41.79]Well I hid it from him for a while
[01:44.82]But the knife and he were one
[01:48.17]And he put it in his bottom drawer
[01:51.10]Without a hard word one
[01:56.76]There it slept and there it stayed
[01:59.93]For twenty some odd years
[02:03.26]Sort of like Excalibur
[02:05.91]Except waiting for a tear
[02:38.12]My father died when I was forty
[02:40.94]And I couldn't find a way to cry
[02:44.53]Not because I didn't love him
[02:47.28]Not because he didn't try
[02:52.68]Well I'd cried for every lesser thing
[02:55.99]Whiskey pain and beauty
[02:59.58]But he deserved a better tear
[03:02.12]And I was not quite ready
[03:10.03]So we took his ashes out to sea
[03:13.06]And poured `em off the stern
[03:16.19]And then threw the roses in the wake
[03:19.06]Of everything we'd learned
[03:24.77]And when we got back to the house
[03:27.81]Well they asked me what I wanted
[03:31.29]Not the law books not the watch
[03:34.34]Oh I need the things he's haunted
[03:38.62]Oh my hand burned for the Randall knife
[03:42.44]There in the bottom drawer
[03:46.11]And I found a tear for my father's life
[03:49.75]And all that it stood for
