Liner Notes

Some remembrances of the few days surrounding the death of my father, 1988.

It captures the essence of a couple of things but there's so much more. This is a first draft and really has to be "worked."

Lyrics

Nothing Left to Say

V I
You were the only one
To come with me
And drink away my dad
A silly thought of self sedation
coffee drinks and conversation

C
A sea of stoli and cranberry
All the words melt away
Tip my glass til it's all's gone
Really nothing left to say

V II
My brother started on the cell
He wasn’t falling already fell
Just grabbed the handle and skipped the glass
Cracked the bottle, was on his ass

C
A sea of stoli and cranberry
All the words melt away
Tip my glass til it's all's gone
Really nothing left to say

V III
Stranger and a niece
Told to hold and reminisce
Back to where we came from
Memories wrapped in frames and
A horrible hole, an unknown soul
Someone I long to take in

Bridge ?
So much left unsaid
My thoughts and feelings lifeless, dead
A bow of silence round by throat, simply couldn’t say
Knocked on wood, said a prayer and watched them fade away

Outro
A sea of stoli and cranberry
All the words melt away
Tip my glass til it's all's gone
Really nothing left to say
Yeah, really nothing left to say
Watch it empty and fade away
