《My Orphan Year》歌词

[00:00:50] My father had dementia

[00:00:52] He lied in bed for months

[00:00:55] Once in a while he'd call me

[00:00:57] And ask me to fly down

[00:00:59] I told him that I'd love to

[00:01:02] But I had things to do

[00:01:04] And so he died without his son

[00:01:09] I heard about it drunk after a show

[00:01:14] My mother battled cancer

[00:01:16] For over seven years

[00:01:19] I nursed her and I held her

[00:01:21] When time was running out

[00:01:23] The night before she left me

[00:01:25] I drank scotch all night

[00:01:28] And thanked her for everything she'd done

[00:01:33] Raising me alone wasn't much fun

[00:01:38] Dad I can forgive you' but I'll never forget'

[00:01:42] Months I wouldn't see you and when I did

[00:01:46] You'd be out with your friends all night

[00:01:49] Alone and only nine

[00:01:52] I watched the outer limits

[00:01:54] And scared out of my mind

[00:01:56] I wonder if you felt the same

[00:01:59] The days before you died

[00:02:01] I wonder if you even knew

[00:02:03] Why I wouldn't come around

[00:02:06] I bet if you had been there'

[00:02:08] There wouldn't be this song

[00:02:20] 2006 goodbye parents

[00:02:26] For once I am sincere

[00:02:29] 2006 my orphan year
