A Conversation

[00:18.86] We haven't spoken in so long, dear"
[00:22.58] This year has gone by in a blur
[00:26.40] Today seems everything's gone wrong here
[00:29.78] I'm looking for the way things were
[00:34.12] I know you'd laugh and call me tragic
[00:37.42] For everything's in disarray
[00:41.38] These rooms were always full of magic
[00:45.18] That's vanished, since you went away
[00:51.94]
[00:55.60] This house is crowded now with questions
[00:59.01] And John's a walking questionnaire
[01:02.16] And I could surely use a few suggestions
[01:05.74] On how to brush our daughter's hair
[01:09.36] When Georgie needed explanations
[01:13.03] You always knew just what to say
[01:16.15] And I miss our family conversations
[01:19.85] It's silent, since you went away
[01:26.89] Winter has gone
[01:30.38] But not from this room
[01:33.77] Snow's left the lane
[01:37.08] But the cherry trees forgot to bloom
[01:42.99]
[01:50.46] I'll carry on the way you told me
[01:54.23] I say that like I have a choice
[01:58.02] And though you are not here to hold me
[02:01.56] In the echoes I can hear your voice
[02:05.35] But still one question fills my day dear
[02:09.18] The answer I most longed to know
[02:12.55] Each moment since you went away dear
[02:16.69] My question, Kate, is
[02:20.73] "Where'd you go?"
[02:22.98]
