[00:15.29]everyone agrees it came too soon
[00:20.51]it was only meant to be an interception
[00:26.49]you kept fear of death in the back pocket of your jeans
[00:33.57]in the palm of your hand, affection
[00:38.76]
[00:40.94]it came like a sudden gust of wind
[00:45.64]leaving them bewildered to ask how
[00:52.12]i recall last time we met, you said we'd meet again
[00:59.06]the irony is only bitter now
[01:04.92]
[01:05.83]these days everyone cries, "say uncle"
[01:11.22]they want to touch your spirit lest it die
[01:17.64]for this your sons and widow gather with us at the table
[01:23.66]to form a healing circle for our new demise
[01:30.22]these days everyone cries, "say uncle"
[01:35.55]i retrieve the memories quickly as i can
[01:42.40]add them to the portrait we all draw in our minds
[01:48.40]your body gone, we shall keep the man
[01:54.65]
[02:03.75]i close my eyes and hope they do not fade
[02:09.12]these remnants of a voice and a smile
[02:15.16]images of landscape, cloaked in forest green
[02:21.96]like your life unfolding mile by mile
[02:28.85]a fierce embrace, a word of thanks
[02:33.31]a cheerful whistle, and hours in a van
[02:40.12]somehow these pieces must bring back the man you were
[02:45.93]though the ocean claims your ashes on the sand
[02:51.82]
[02:52.41]these days everyone cries, "say uncle"
[02:57.50]they want to touch your spirit lest it die
[03:03.67]for this your sons and widow gather with us at the table
[03:09.59]to form a healing circle for our new demise
[03:15.95]these days everyone cries, "say uncle"
[03:21.25]i retrieve the memories quickly as i can
[03:27.80]add them to the portrait we all draw in our minds
[03:34.64]your body gone, we shall keep the man
[03:44.55]
[04:14.74]these days everyone cries, "say uncle"
[04:19.67]they want to touch your spirit lest it die
[04:25.88]for this your sons and widow gather with us at the table
[04:32.39]to form a healing circle for our new demise
[04:39.27]these days everyone cries, "say uncle"
[04:44.71]i retrieve the memories quickly as i can
[04:51.32]add them to the portrait we all draw in our minds
[04:57.89]your body gone, we shall keep the man
