Basket |
| We are young we have |
| years ahead maybe |
| we might fall in love |
| or fall apart |
| fall apart |
| Before it ends well we |
| should try to start |
| So I’ll go |
| But I’m telling you I don’t |
| want to go |
| I could be stuck here and happy |
| There’s a puzzle I |
| work on endlessly |
| and I’ve got all the sides and all the corners |
| But there’s a space |
| Oh there’s a space |
| Lost some pieces I |
| can’t replace |
| So I’ll be |
| But I’m telling you I don’t |
| want to be |
| Just a wasted puzzle piece |
| We are old and our son |
| took the dog away |
| and fair enough guess we’re |
| tired all the time |
| all the time |
| and you know dogs they need |
| ample time outside |
| So I’ll stay |
| But I’m telling you I don’t |
| want to stay |
| So I’ll brace myself against the wall |
| and hope to God that I don’t fall |
| My bones are worn my hip won’t hold |
| I used to be so young |
| How did I get so old |
| Won’t you take my cane and hold my hand |
| You’re holding on to all I have |
| just a basket full of memories |
| and I am loosing more each day it seems |
| but if I can make it to the street |
| I’ll steal a car or a bike |
| whatever there is to steal |
| and it might get cold I just don’t care |
| I’m going till I’m getting there |
| I’ll ride my steed all through this town |
| till I… |
| have looked |
| till I have found |
| Your peaceful memory |
| Won’t you return to me |
| Won’t you return to me |
