Dementia Blues

 Dementia Blues

 

She promised forever only to forget

Today is the day that we first met

Take me home down by the Greens

It’s in Grenada that she means

 

Dementia blues I forgot all the words

Dementia blues I can’t play the chords

Dementia blues my love is still real

Dementia blues it hurts when I feel

 

Sometimes angry then weeping tears

Taking trips into her former years

I’m not a child she boldly proclaims

Always calling me by different names

 

Dementia blues I forgot all the words

Dementia blues I can’t play the chords

Dementia blues my love is still real

Dementia blues it hurts when I feel

 

The stores all know her up and down Grove Street

They’ll bring her inside and give her a treat

I’ll get a call waking me from a morning rest

What once was a pleasure is an endless test

 

It’s what they call by the long goodbye

Halfway in the grave I see her lie

After such a troubled life you have to ask ‘Why?’

But God in his kindness never does reply

 

Dementia blues I forgot all the words

Dementia blues I can’t play the chords

Dementia blues my love is still real

Dementia blues it hurts when I feel

 

And you just don’t want to let go

Late at night in fright tears flow

What I loved is already gone

Still to the memories you cling on

 

Dementia blues I forgot all the words

Dementia blues I can’t play the chords

Dementia blues my love is still real

Dementia blues it hurts when I feel
