My father had dementia
He lied in bed for months
Once in a while heâd call me
And ask me to fly down
I told him that Iâd love to
But I had things to do
And so he died without his son
I heard about it drunk after a show
My mother battled cancer
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 sheâd done
Raising me alone wasnât much fun
Dad I can forgive you,
but Iâll never forget,
Months I wouldnât see you and when I did
Youâd be out with your friends all night
Alone and only nine
I watched the outer limits
And 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 wouldnât come around
I bet if you had been there,
There wouldnât be this song
2006 goodbye parents
For once I am sincere
2006 my orphan year |
