A Song About Dementia

How you got right here
You don’t remember
Signs of the time
Oh, you survived

See the world pass by
As you’re getting weary
All of your days
They get erased

You just wish that you were
Younger
Falling softly
In her arms
Yet knowing all the question
With the answers
Left
Far out of sight

At times your mind sits straight
And you see clearer
Rooting your thoughts
You feel you got a lot

When you jumped headfirst
Into the cold
She dried your hair
And kept you warm
She fed your dreams
With all her soul
You’ve seen the best
And now you’re bound to fall
You understand it all

But you wish that you were younger
Falling softly
In her arms
Yet knowing all the question
With the answers
Left
Far out of sight
