Holding on to that photograph
The one of you by my side
I must have been around the age of five
When I heard that you had died
Until now I have missed you not
Though I always wondered why
I guess it cause somehow I believed
That you never left my side
I remember calling you on the phone
Will you take me to the fair
Or take me to the store
To a child who knew not
What was incomplete
You gave him more than
He would ever need
So if I have a right
To sing you this song
It's for you
I see you in that chair
Smiling at me
Won't you sit me on your lap for awhile
Tell me one more story
Of how the fairies win our hearts
With all their charms
Remember when I told you they could have mine
And you said like you they would torment me for life
I guess that's one more thing I should have paid attention to
But at least they keep me company when I'm sad
Oh at least the stories you've told me
Live in them
So at least I know for now
No matter how much I have found
I'll always have some pretty big wings to fill in
Walk right down to this
He's been looking for
Another open door
To find his life again
Do you know his name?
His name is my own friend
And when I find him there
I'll bury him again
I remember calling you on the phone
Will you take me to the fair
Or take me to the store you know
I remember calling you on the phone
Will you take me to the park
To the fair or to the store
A child who knew not
What was incomplete
Had you to give more than
He would need
So if I have to write
This song
It's for you
I don't understand
Why life has brought me this
It seems like I'm afraid
In this place
In this space
Take me home
Hear the car running down the street
Hear the man in the police suit tell me
I ain't going to see my grandpa anymore
Tell me it isn't so, How me it isn't so
Won't you pass my house instead
I don't want to hear any more
