It’s a disgrace
I really think you’d be amazed
To find that really, we’re just the same
More or less and give or take
More or less and give or take
I tell you time doesn’t pass
No, it obliterates all in its path
But I think you’d be proud of us
Yeah, I just know you’d be so proud of us
And the hole that you left is getting overgrown with time
But you’re always in my heart
You’re always on my mind
Dad bakes a cake
And I’m folding linen as Bob Dylan plays
But your car is still in the driveway
And it gets a little easier everyday
It’s a mercy when your memories fade
But it’s such a bitter pill to take
And the hole that you left is getting overgrown with time
But you’re always in my heart
You’re always on my mind
