about

A song I write for Oma after she passed away.

lyrics

Tried to cure that old viscous cancer with
Your granddad's indian medicine but
But it ate you, never gave you a chance

We went on laughing
We went on bitching just the same
Oh factory yard, oh pair of thieves
The same

I've been a mess
I've missed the death of
My mother's mother's mother
Away in California

From states away, apparently
She asked the Lord to care for me
She prayed as I was still afraid

I tried to see her
Tried to picture her face
I'll never know the way she looked
As the blood stopped cold inside her veins

So if I die before I wake
And the fragile, fickle cell give way
And the scene appears before me in
The fashion of the oldest days

I will beg You to remember me
And cuss myself on broken knees
Or maybe rot away beneath
A hundred other fools like me
