My Orphan Year |
| 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 |
| 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 she’d done |
| Raising me alone wasn’t much fun |
| Dad I can forgive you, 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 |
| 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 wouldn’t come around? |
| I bet if you had been there |
| There wouldn’t be this song |
| 2006, goodbye parents |
| For once I am sincere |
| 2006 my orphan year |
