So, this is a song about Alzheimer's Disease and dementia. My family has had close experience with Alzheimer's: both my nanna and my great-aunt got it. My Nanna passed away, but my great aunt got it a few months ago.
I've been searching for I long time now
Wondering where you've gone
But, I know now
That you're never coming back
Your mind has been shipwrecked
on the rocks of an awful disease
It's stolen you away
Oh, if only it were simple
If only you hadn't gone away
If only it were simple
If only you could stay
So, where have you gone?
Where are you now?
Why did you leave me?
And how?
Your body's still on earth
But your mind's with the stars
And it's never coming back down
Where have you gone?
Your hour glass of life
trickles to an end
We've done this before
Surely we can do it again?
But it never will get easy
No matter how hard you try
The road is agonizing
Why don't you lay down and die?
Oh, if only it were simple
If only you were here
If only it were simple
If only you didn't disappear
So, where have you gone?
Where are you now?
Why did you leave me?
And how?
Your body's here
But you're never coming back
Never coming back to me
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
Another day passes by
A smile plastered on my face
As I introduce my self to you,
Again and again
I guess that things happen for a reason
I know we have no say
Yet, It seems mindless
That you can't remember anyone, anymore
So, where have you gone?
Where are you now?
Why did you leave me?
And how?
Your body's here
But your mind's flown away
And it's never coming back...
So where have you gone?
A/N: Comment if you want to here it as an actual song! (Probs no music)
