"Daddy's All Gone" is a James Taylor song. A live IG version appearson "Shades of Indigo." If you ask me, that song alone is worth theprice of the disc. Em really shines, I think. Especially on theword "train" that goes on forever... what SOUL... ooooh.And her solo guitar arrangement is cool, too.Daddy's All Gone.Don't have much to sayThought I'd call you up anywayJust to try and tell you the wayThat I feel today -Oh, I miss you baby.Sure, I'm on the roadI don't need to say much moreJust the same old well known strangerThat I was before -Seems like yesterday.Daddy's all goneHe's just a halfway homeHe's holding on to the telephoneSinging "Please -Don't let the show go on."There's a bus every other hourEven a midnight trainBut that don't leave me the powerTo see your face again -It's not that simple anymore.You see, there's a room full of smiling facesAnd there's a man standing by the doorWhen he says it's time we take our placesAnd get down on the floor -Oh, I'd like to kill him, baby.Daddy's all goneHe's just a halfway homeHe's hanging on to the microphoneSinging "Please -Don't let the show go on."
