Lyrics
Roy’s Song
It wasn’t, so long ago
We would dance, and we’d have fun
Together, in the world
Laughing, in the sun
But time, takes its toll
Doesn’t spare, anyone
Forced to, a chair that rolls
A man’s life, slowly undone
Still, I felt joy, in my heart
Many cared for me
Many came to see
How I was doing, and how I be
Then came, the viral beast
Home to home, west to east
It didn’t care, for anyone
On our breath, it would feast
Why are you, at my door
No one, asked you here
Why do you, need any more
Fill my soul, with fear
Why is it, I can’t breathe
My eyes, can barely see
Who are, these people here
Where are those, I hold dear
Lights, are getting dim, sounds fade
Beeping, in the dark
Flashing, on the wall
How long has it been, how long have I stayed
It seems, like something’s changed
The room seems, rearranged
They whisper, more and more
Warmth it, fills my veins
Where are, my girls and son
I don’t, feel them here
But my love, she is waiting
I think, she is near
I think, the time has come
I think, it’s time I leave
