about

An ode to my mother, the woman whose love of music inspires me to this day.

lyrics

There’s a knock at the door
It will knock you down
For the rest of your life
Pick yourself off the floor
Take a look around
At what’s left of your life

Stagger onto a chair
Feel the flood of despair
Coming on
No one said it’d be fair
That she’d always be here
She is gone

Here’s the sun waking up
Yet another time
Another day to survive
Find yourself waking up
Making up your mind
Whether to stay alive

Put a smile on your face
Give your thanks to his Grace
For holding on
No one said it’d be fair
That she’d always be here
She is gone

She’s gone
And you never did look in her eyes
She’s gone
Never told her how you loved her smile

Lose yourself in the bed
Of another night
Find your escape, find your lie
Little voice in your head saying what is right
And there’s no way to deny

That the show must go on
And the world’s moving on
It’s moving on
No one said it’d be fair
That she’d always be here
She is gone

She’s gone
And you never did look in her eyes
She’s gone
Never told her how you loved her smile

Hang the frame on the wall
Picture black and white
And her beautiful smile
Let your mind after all
Find a little light
In the dark of her eyes

Yet a light gone too soon
In the breath of a moon
In the early morn
No one said it’d be fair
That she’d always be here
She is gone

She’s gone
And you never did look in her eyes
She’s gone
Never told her how you loved her smile

She’s gone
And you never did look in her eyes
She’s gone
Never told her how you loved her smile
