Aunt for Uncle
As I watch you sleep
your breath deep and slow
I think how lost I will be
when its time for you to go
The grip of pain it tightens
it pulses and it grows
like the waves of the ocean
it holds you in its throes
I know its selfish to make you stay
to suffer endlessly
but I don't want to face the day
when it is only me
your breath deep and slow
I think how lost I will be
when its time for you to go
The grip of pain it tightens
it pulses and it grows
like the waves of the ocean
it holds you in its throes
I know its selfish to make you stay
to suffer endlessly
but I don't want to face the day
when it is only me
