IV: FATHER. 1959. As mourners arrive for the funeral, Shanty thinks on his confusion, fears and upset at the death of his father. He reflects and worries about the relationship they had, distressed at his father’s mortality. Finally he realises fathers are only human and asks his forgiveness.

Lyrics
[SHANTY]
Hey, wait a minute
You didn't tell me
I fell into a place
I didn't wanna go
It doesn't matter
I swear
I'll never go through another of those things
In my life
You should have warned me Of all the dangers
But maybe there were some things you just didn't know
But you're my father
And surely fathers ought to know about most things
In this life
Don't tell me
I thought you were the best
You were only human
And a lot like all the rest
Like me you were fragile
Not secure
With the fast tide of life
That would speed past your door
