lyrics

When I first got the call you were in the hospital
Those words fell like anvils
Falling and pounding me down

And it was a good thing that no one was around
Because the tears they were waterfalls
Drip-dropping all because I could feel you slipping

When I went to the attic to sort through your things
Papers and ornaments, sweaters and handpainted scenes
And that picture at Christmas with my niece
We didn’t fight at all that year
Just laughing/crying
I can’t forget now

Sometimes I thought we’d get married, babe
You know that it never made a prettier picture in my mind

When I jumped in the car towards the hospital
You know that I ran every light
Irrational standing right by your side
Gripped that hand
In a vise

Now I can’t bring myself to trash one thing
That you decided to hold onto
These things aren’t a part of you
They’re part of me now

Sometimes I thought we’d get married, babe
You know that it never made a prettier picture in my mind
