She doesn`t know the man
Who tries to push her wheelchair in the sand
She just looks out to sea
He`s talking endlessly
Oh, why won`t he shut up
I take my medicine
I crush the paper cup
Oh, maybe he`s my son
And he`s come to set me free
She knows that she forgot
That there`s a story, and she
Can`t recall the plot
Of course her family fought
Over the furniture
Oh i don`t know why they
Have taken all my favorite things away
But one thing, that`s for sure
I don`t know what they were
They say a stone is a marker
And that it has weight
They say it`s solid
But it can deteriorate
The air is like a hand
Reminding her of all the things she`s planned
Like air that thought is gone
Never to come again
We came out to the beach
To find the mind i`ve lost, and cannot reach
I used to keep it here
It was much cleaner then
They say a rose is a flower
And that it is red
It blooms, it grows, it wilts
And then it`s dead
They say a stone is a marker
And that it has weight
They say it`s solid
But it can deteriorate
They say a rose is a flower
And that it is red
It blooms, it grows, it wilts
And then it`s dead
Oh, rose kennedy
