lyrics
She was in a wheelchair
Huge and incoherent,
Eyes long wandered off from us.
A giant evergreen, a
Christmas tree shown bright
Upon her waning locks.
My mother was her daughter.
Crying couldn't bring her back so
There was joy and laughter because,
Because there had to be and
Everybody knows it
Or else we couldn't keep on going.
Mmm.
I wore blue pajamas and
Chased a plastic blue jay
'Round the grand room.
It might as well have been real though
As the moment seemed fake, cause
I've only ever seen the tape.
And I know you could never be replaced.
Out of the billions dead I swear I could pick your face.
If I believed in all the things that the preachers say
I'd say this today:
Mary, why did you have to go? (x4)
But damn, you did some good things here.
Damn, Nana.
I have you to thank for all of this! (x2)
Mary, why did you have to go? (x4)
(whistling)
