|
She's got houseplants, |
|
To keep her company. |
|
I bought her a goldfish |
|
She named it after me. |
|
We look at old photographs, |
|
Of lovers come and gone |
|
Ask her if it makes her sad |
|
She says "son you've got so much to learn." |
|
JulietteThe love of life that you have kept |
|
JulietteSmiling on her dying bed |
|
JulietteGot a grace about you yet. |
|
JulietteSmoking her last cigarette |
|
Three is teatime, |
|
She puts on patsy cline |
|
Cuts the crusts of sandwhiches |
|
Mentions how she don't mind dyin' |
|
Tells stories about pearl and earl |
|
Best friends that she once had |
|
We do the dishes, |
|
Then she says its time for bed |
|
JulietteThe love of life that you have kept |
|
JulietteSmiling on her dying bed |
|
JulietteGot a grace about you yet. |
|
JulietteSmoking her last cigarette |
|
We ate ice cream |
|
Last night before she slept |
|
No plans for breakfast |
|
Except to read the note she left |
|
Gray and white skies |
|
That day was a blur for me |
|
She made me promise not to cry |
|
So here's a drink |
|
I drink to thee. |
|
JulietteThe love of life that you have kept |
|
JulietteSmiling on her dying bed |
|
JulietteGot a grace about you yet. |
|
JulietteSmoking her last cigarette |
