CROSSING PATHS 2
Gotta be careful, man
People are on the path"
He says to his son
Swinging branches
Around in a circle
As I approach

He says to his son
Swinging branches
Around in a circle
As I approach

Father's Day
Wish
once I had
wished him
on a

don't feel bad
our son came to visit
today for the first chance I've
had since my stroke
to reassure him that
I'm still his ol' dad and I'm
still the same bloke

a scream or a fist into
the fluffy pillow

You keep saying,
Even as you eat the food
You don't even know
You're eating

Rose Garden
Rose Garden
Rose garden overtaken by brambles
My old hands prune
The garden Mom and I planted
So many memories in the past

Please don't
I'm afraid
My father's mood...
It's getting worse...
He sounds like she did...
Like she does...
She was suicidal
I don't want to lose him
I can't...

She was suicidal
I don't want to lose him
