Spinnaker (The Park Bench Rant)
The Matriarchs
Capo on 4
Intro- C Em C Em
I held your ancient hand
I flashed a toothy grin
And I’ve never cried
Like I saw you cry
When you told me
That you knew you’d die
If you went outside
And it was colder than sixty five.
And I’m just happy I can fill your life
Fill this cluttered house
With laughter again.
It’s been a long long time
Since your daughter died
And I’m sorry
I dreamed of suicide
It wasn’t right.
I know it makes you sad
To think you may never see
Summer again
And I would like to say
There is a better place
After this life.
Well I’m sorry, we only get one try.
