Meaning Meaningless

In the sweet embrace of twilight

Just before the night time came

All her children in the front yard

There was laughter all the breeze

Then a call came from her father

In his house half away ‘cross town

He said ‘love, I hate to tell you

But your mother, she’s gone now’

And time moving quickly before our eyes

Oh why do these moments seem to fly?

So she tries to tell her husband

But she cannot make a sound

And he hears through all the silence

So before she hits the ground

He says ‘baby, are you with me?’

And he opens up her eyes

And she says ‘I lost my mother’

And a piece of her heart dies

And time moving quickly before our eyes

Oh why do these moments seem to fly?

And time moving quickly before our eyes

Oh why do these moments seem to fly?

I am trapped and wondering why

Now it’s late and she is restless

All her girls are tucked in bed

She is searching for a meaning

When all words feel meaningless

And the hardest part of losing

Is the memory of the when

And the hardest part of letting go

Is when you know you never cared

Yea, the hardest part of letting go

Is when you know you never cared

And time moving quickly before our eyes

Oh why do these moments seem to fly?

And time moving quickly before our eyes

Oh why do these moments seem to fly?

I am trapped and wondering why

Moving quickly before our eyes
