about

In loving memory of (Grandpa) Lou Demer.

lyrics

It’s last minute tickets and hotel fare
Driving to airport and feeling unprepared
There’s never a convenient way to go
Rehearsing your lines and letting emotions show

But we want more
Even after 98 years
We would take just a bit more time
If the words don’t come out
Though I’m confident you know by now
I just want to say . . .

You never were the conversating sort
Just sitting in your armchair and watching all your sports
But your ears were tuned and your wit was sharp
Still sticking your jokes in the bull’s-eye like a dart

Chorus

Now we’re all aware
Standing on the precipice
Drag another chair across the kitchen floor
Only at the end
You see the things you might have missed
Thanks for all the things I never thanked you for

Chorus

And Mother is on the wall beside the saints
Still smiling down even as the seasons change
You’d sign her name on our Christmas cards
I guess you knew that “goodbye” is just too hard
