The Door

from A Piece of the Sky by Tret Fure

/

lyrics

He stands at the door, taps on the window
Pointing to somewhere he’d rather be
“I need to be there”, he says over and over
But there is somewhere you cannot see

Tall and so strong and so physically well
To look from a distance, you really can’t tell
That most of his memories have gone from his life
Forgetting most things except his daughters and wife
And sometimes that slips down the slippery slope
And you sit here burdened with your desperate hope
What cruel conditions wake him each day
Sometimes he’s here, then it all falls away

And nothing makes sense in his mystified mind
Words have all failed him, there’s no sense of time
It all slips away, then a moment so clear
“I’m back, I’m back”, is what you long to hear
A prayer and a plea and a cry in the night
You can’t make it work though you fight the good fight
You wish it were as easy, as easy as this
To bring back the prince takes one little kiss
