Lyrics

Lost For Words

The debris of my father's life,
old medals, papers, some frayed letters,
speaks to me. I let my mind wander...
A mother that I hardly knew,
a, lovely face I don't recall, can only see
by finding her picture. Here it is... I pick it up,
unsure of what's to come.
Lost... for words and wondering, who I am...

The photo brings her back to life,
I drift away and fall to dreaming,
young again - I'm in her arms, wailing...
She soothes me with her baby talk,
showers me with love and laughter,
cradles me - until the night takes her...
And like before, I'm left alone,
unsure of what's to come.
Lost... for words and wondering, who I am...

Too young to understand her say,
that I was wanted, I was worthy,
hugs and smiles were how she could tell me.
And when she passed I couldn't ask
where she had gone or why she'd left me
wondering, why she would desert me.
Leave me here, afraid to love,
unsure of what might come
Lost... for words and wondering, who I am...
