Lyrics about being a father

Has Ed written any lyrics into any of his, or the band's, songs about being a father? Around the Bend sounds lullaby-ish, but anything that might directly/indirectly reference his life/role as a father. I'm wracking my brain and can't seem to come up with anything.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

    Over the years the number has increased.

    If I'm not mistaken, Around the Bend is about Jack Irons son

    Thin Air perhaps not written so but the lyrics could be taken between father and child

    A lot of the lyrics can be percieved different way...which I think is the way that Ed would want it to be...so there might be numerous songs that could be taken that way.

    They mean whatever they mean to you...and you...and you!

    Eddie wrote it after Jack became a father. All the touring kept him away from his family. After my son was born I really got into this song.
    Still can't believe I met Mike Mccready at the Guggenheim and got a pic with him!!!!!
