Story Behind the Song
My dad left when I was sixteen. Said he'd be back in a few months. Never came back. And there ya go.
Lyrics
I remember, I was just a boy, still playin' around with my old toys. You said I'd be the man and that I'd be alone to build a master plan. Wiseman, why does the thunder on the mountain call? I swear I heard that thunder on the night my father left us all. I remember, I was just sixteen, still livin' on top of these broken dreams. Shook my hand, waved goodbye, you said, "I'll be back someday kid - don't cry". You sent a card, Dad, once in a while. You called a couple times - digital smile. And everytime you said, "I miss you son..." And everytime you said, "I miss you son..." And everytime you said, "I miss you son..." And everytime you said, "I miss you son..." Wiseman, why does the thunder on the mountain call? I swear I heard that thunder on the night my father left us all. Wiseman, why does the thunder on the mountain call? I swear I heard that thunder on the night my father left us all. Yeah. "F" is for nothing. "A" is for nothing. "T" is for nothing. "H" is for nothing at all. "E" is for nothing and "R" is for Running away. Wiseman, why does the thunder on the mountain call? I swear I heard that thunder on the night my father left us all. Wiseman, why does the thunder on the mountain call? I swear I heard that thunder on the night my father left us all. Wiseman. Wiseman, yeah. Wiseman. Wiseman. Wiseman, why does the thunder on the mountain call? I swear I heard that thunder on the night my father left us all.
