A miss in time

She sang a song
And missed a man
Stared up a thought
And blinked a tear
He just toiled on
A clone of the day
Lost to the pangs
Of a reeling heart
She catches a solemn ride
And wades into an 'ask'
'Just missed him is all'
She tells on her plight
He trudges a wary retreat
To follow the dusk's tail
Comes upon the story
Her day had to tell
Holds her up close
And whispers a why
It was just a song
'Bout a man called Dad
