about

A song written for and about my father. Being next to his bedside in his last moments and the rollercoaster of emotions from humour to grief experienced.

lyrics

Call out
To put an end to this
I swear
Somebody listened to me
that night
Knew you were leaving here

Last chance
To get your feelings out
You freeze
No words can come to you
to hold a hand
Is all that is needed now

We had no choice, it's unstoppable
We laugh and we cry, uncontrollable
You and I and we , we'll be together
Right until to the end
It matters

A creak,
We close in to listen,
I pray for all that you've wanted
To pass, you go, we'll fend for ourselves from now

You float, up like a morning mist,
alls changed
No sudden final twists
Just us alone, we'll never forget you

We had no choice, it's unstoppable
We laugh and we cry, uncontrollable
You and I and we , we'll be together
Right until to the end
It matters

Start a fire,
Start a war,
Do whatever to have like before

You have a beautiful grandchild,
She knows ,you in all of your photographs
You'll live on, we'll make sure of it
