about

I wrote this song while remembering some of the thoughts and feeling I had when my mother passed.

lyrics

I tried to
get up from the ground
I tried to

She asked me
a question and then
she turned her back

She cried
on every Summer day
and in the Fall
she turned way

She cried
on every Summer da
and in the Fall
she turned away

She smiled
and looked at me
she held her hands up
way up high

The snow came down
and buried the world
and made no sound

But anyway
I can't stay
in this cold place
anymore
