MaryAnn Jordan (September 30th 1942 to March 19th 2024) Lyrics

Sitting out in the backyard

Trying to catch

All of the birds, you used to laugh

Then call me back in

Sneak me table scraps

It's been awhile since you did that

I see you're not eating

Haven't left the bed

He's bringing you water

Haven't checked on your flowers

You're everywhere you know,

Your smell in the closet

Your shape in the sheets

We could never let you go

The coffee he's making

Two cups every morning

Only one empties

Only one

Only one empties

Only one

Now I watch it all changing

He's sleeping on her side

Moved her clothes out the closet

But I saw him crying

Go through every motion

It gets better with time

But I think they're lying

I think they're lying

I stare at your flowers

If you can't come back

I'll still protect him

Cause that's why you chose me

So soft and so sweet

I never was barking

Your quiet companion

The best company

We made up a pack

Now I'm missing the better sum of me

You're everywhere you know,

Your smell in the closet

Your shape in the sheets

So hard to let you go

He still makes your coffee

Two cups every morning

Only one empties

Only one empties
