my father had dementia

he lied in bed for months

once in a while he'd call me

and asked me to fly down

i told him that i'd love to

but i had things to do and

and so he died without his son

i heard about it drunk after a show

my mother battled cancer

for over 7 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

so, dad, i can't forgive you

C(H)

but i'll never forget

months i wouldn't see you

and when i did you'd be

out with your friends all night

C(H)

alone and only 9

i watched The Outer Limits

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

good bye, parents

for once sincere

2006 - there was my orphan year

ps i guess it's right, if you'll find any mistakes, let me to know please - andrew.svoi@yahoo.com
