Drifting Away
Walking through the woods
glancing up at snow filled trees
my thoughts turn to you
Things are not the same
How can they be when you don't
seem to know any of us by name?
This disease has robbed you
of the tree of knowledge
My heart is broken in many places
because you no longer recognize us by faces
The roots of the tree remain forever strong
Memories of the past will forever live on
The forest is quiet
The sky is a clear crystal blue
Forever will last memories we had with you
I guess in this sense the song lyrics couldn't be more true
that the hardest part of love
is the letting go.
