作曲 : Creagor She doesn't know the man Who tries to push her wheelchair in the sand She just looks out to sea He's talkin' endlessly Oh, why won't he shut up? I take my medicine and I crush the paper cup Oh, maybe he's my son And he's coming to set me free She knows that she forgot That there's a story and she can't recall the plot Of course her family fought Over the furniture Oh, I don't know why they Have taken all my favorite things away? But one thing that's for sure I don't know what they were They say a stone is a marker And that it has weight They say it's solid But it can deteriorate The air is like a hand Reminding her of all the things she's planned Like air that thought is gone Never to come again We came out to the beach To find the mind I've lost and cannot reach I used to keep it here It was much cleaner then They say a rose is a flower And that it is red It blooms, it grows, it wilts And then it is dead They say a stone is a marker And that it has weight They say it's solid But it can deteriorate They say a rose is a flower And that it is red It blooms, it grows, it wilts And then it is dead Oh, Rose Kennedy
