:41:01
on the other side of the river,
and he dove in after you,
:41:05
Dove in without even taking his boots
off and pulled you out of danger,
:41:11
You must've been all of
four years old at the time,
:41:16
I knew someone caught hold of me,
:41:21
Someone who wasn't me,
:41:27
No one else knew who it was, but I did,
:41:31
It was Harry Nightshade, son,
Your friend Jim's dad,
:41:36
A couple of years before
he lit off across the seas
:41:39
and was never seen in this town again,
:41:42
Mr, Nightshade did your father's work,
:41:49
Can't forgive myself for that,
:41:53
Or him either, I guess,
:41:57
But I'll tell you somethin', son,
:42:01
When you see the end of things
comin' close and starin' at you,
:42:05
it's not what you've done that you regret,
:42:08
it's what you didn't do,
And most of all,,,
:42:12
,,, that afternoon at the river,
:42:14
when there was nothin' I could do, Will,
:42:22
Blame my father if you like, blame me,
:42:27
We gotta stop blaming sometime,
:42:36
I wish you could be happy,
:42:46
Well,,, just tell me I'll live forever,
Then I'll be happy,
:42:53
Dad, don't talk death,
Someone'll hear you and,,,
:42:58
Dad,,,
