In Memory - Black Lungs

Unnatural skies drift away calmly behind the trees right before my eyes

After that is gets dark rather quickly

This changing of the weather brings a lack of hope

As my thoughts drift away to us sitting in the south end of town

And what you said that day

I’ve never seen that look in his eyes before «I should have died»

He said eyes fixed on the floor

I’ve never seen that look in his eyes before «I should have died»

He said, thinking of her

Just as soon as the light changed he was smoking and laughing again

Reminding me of years ago and telling me to never get old

Slowly the cancer wins

The cigarettes probably let it it

Slowly the cancer wins

Chemo doesn’t work, radiation was a sin

I’ve never seen that look in his eyes before

«I should have died», he said, eyes fixed on the floor

I’ve never seen that look in his eyes before

«I should have died», he said, thinking of her
