My father had dementia
He lied in bed for months
Once in a while he'd call me
And ask me to fly down
I told him that I'd love to
But I had things to do
And so he died without his son
I heard about it drunk after a show
Verse 1:A5
For over seven years
I nursed her and I held her
When time was running out
The night before she left me
I drank scotch all night
And thanked her for everything she'd done
Raising me alone wasn't much fun
Verse 1:A5
But I'll never forget,
Months I wouldn't see you and when I did You'd be
out with your friends all night
Alone and only nine
I watched the outer limits
While scared out of my mind
I wonder if you felt the same The days before you died
I wonder if you even knew Why I wouldn't come around
I bet if you had been there, There wouldn't be this song
Final
2006
goodbye parents
For once sincere
2006 my orphan year
