Do You Remember?

He Had That Fit At The Gym
Passed Out On The Treadmill
I Thought It Was Funny At The Time

Until He Went To Hospital
And They Found That Despicable Lump
Lodged In His Brain

I Didn't Really Get It
It Wasn't A Big Deal
Until He Had Another Fit In The Bathroom

Then I Was Scared
But I Knew He Couldn't Die
Not My Dad, No Way

The Months Went By
He Was Getting Better
I Swear He Really Was

Then That Morning
He Wasn't Better, At All
He Was Cold And Hard

Seeing The One Man
You Thought Would Stand Forever
Lowered Into The Ground As A Heap Of Dust

It's Enough To Drive You Crazy
Maybe It Did, For A While
Five Years Gone, And Still I Mourn

Will It Ever End?
