[00:28.83]My father had a Randall knife
[00:31.33]My mother gave it to him
[00:35.02]When he went off to WWII
[00:37.71]To save us all from ruin
[00:43.51]If you've ever held a Randall knife
[00:46.33]Then you know my father well
[00:50.08]If a better blade was ever made
[00:52.76]It was probably forged in hell
[00:59.51]My father was a good man
[01:02.45]A lawyer by his trade
[01:06.08]And only once did I ever see
[01:08.26]Him misuse the blade
[01:15.25]It almost cut his thumb off
[01:17.81]When he took it for a tool
[01:21.50]The knife was made for darker things
[01:24.75]And you could not bend the rules
[01:30.79]He let me take it camping once
[01:33.85]On a Boy Scout jamboree
[01:34.85]And I broke a half an inch off
[01:40.29]Trying to stick it in a tree
[01:47.48]I hid it from him for a while
[01:49.17]But the knife and he were one
[01:53.22]He put it in his bottom drawer
[01:54.91]Without a hard word one
[01:58.53]There it slept and there it stayed
[02:05.06]For twenty some odd years
[02:09.04]Sort of like Excalibur
[02:11.54]Except waiting for a tear
[02:21.91]
[02:48.46]My father died when I was forty
[02:49.90]And I couldn't find a way to cry
[02:52.97]Not because I didn't love him
[02:56.77]Not because he didn't try
[03:00.60]I'd cried for every lesser thing
[03:05.74]Whiskey, pain and beauty
[03:07.49]But he deserved a better tear
[03:13.05]And I was not quite ready
[03:23.37]So we took his ashed out to sea
[03:24.82]And poured 'em off the stern
[03:26.31]And threw the roses in the wake
[03:31.25]Of everything we'd learned
[03:36.63]When we got back to the house
[03:40.00]They asked me what I wanted
[03:43.51]Not the lawbooks not the watch
[03:45.75]I need the things he's haunted
[03:53.00]My hand burned for the Randall knife
[03:55.88]There in the bottom drawer
[04:01.32]And I found a tear for my father's life
[04:02.94]And all that it stood for
