My father had dementia |
| [00:52.89] |
He lied in bed for months |
| [00:55.26] |
Once in a while he'd call me |
| [00:57.64] |
And ask me to fly down |
| [00:59.94] |
I told him that I'd love to |
| [01:02.34] |
But I had things to do |
| [01:04.53] |
And so he died without his son |
| [01:09.53] |
I heard about it drunk after a show |
| [01:14.51] |
My mother battled cancer |
| [01:16.70] |
For over seven years |
| [01:19.07] |
I nursed her and I held her |
| [01:21.32] |
When time was running out |
| [01:23.89] |
The night before she left me |
| [01:25.95] |
I drank scotch all night |
| [01:28.14] |
And thanked her for everything she'd done |
| [01:33.46] |
Raising me alone wasn't much fun |
| [01:38.15] |
Dad I can forgive you' but I'll never forget' |
| [01:42.59] |
Months I wouldn't see you and when I did |
| [01:46.34] |
You'd be out with your friends all night |
| [01:49.77] |
Alone and only nine |
| [01:52.10] |
I watched the outer limits |
| [01:54.48] |
And scared out of my mind |
| [01:56.98] |
I wonder if you felt the same |
| [01:59.23] |
The days before you died |
| [02:01.73] |
I wonder if you even knew |
| [02:03.85] |
Why I wouldn't come around |
| [02:06.29] |
I bet if you had been there' |
| [02:08.66] |
There wouldn't be this song |
| [02:10.98] |
|
| [02:20.14] |
2006 goodbye parents |
| [02:26.60] |
For once I am sincere |
| [02:29.60] |
2006 my orphan year |
