about

Both loosely and closely inspired by witnessing my grandmother's final days early this year. And my mom's care and concern and love for her.

May my Grandma rest in peace.

lyrics

Last night I dreamed you were falling
While the cracks below you widened
I couldn't reach you and all you could do
Was watch me watch you fall

Is this what it's like to be dying?
The confusion of coming and going
The bluest hour turns golden
You move towards the light

Our memories make a movie
Projected there in the mirror
In your eyes, I see you see me
You hold my reflection there

Like a belladonna lily
A late bloomer from the beginning
Soon you say you'll be leaving
Soon your time will be here

I watch you peacefully breathing
Bathed in streetlight from the window
Your still and stately beauty
Makes me ache with love

Sometimes you can't remember
Who I am or where I came from
You look right through me searching for
Someone else you love

Last night you dreamed she was coming
Your arms stretched out towards her
She couldn't reach her and all you could do
Was watch her fade away

Is this what it's like to be dying?
The confusion of coming and going
The bluest hour turns golden
You move towards the light

Is this what it's like to be dying?
The confusion of coming and going
The bluest hour turns golden
You move towards the light
