Dedicated to the memory of Lily Joan Glasscock and Parker Kulpa
lyrics
Lost in a daze as the waves crash in from the sea
And though I try to get by I still think of you constantly
Was there a god in the sky to hear all my prayers and pleas
And still left me here with the thoughts of what will never be
It keeps playing over and over again...
Oh Joan, Oh Joan
Please never leave me alone
For this pain in my heart just won't depart
Nor is it turning to stone
Oh Joan, Oh Joan...
You took half of my heart when you went away
And at least a small piece of every single day
Now all the colors of life are just a darker shade of grey
It's so hard to see the light when it seems to only fade
I'd forget the scent of flowers in bloom
If it only meant one more final moment with you
Oh Joan, Oh Joan
Please never leave me alone
For this pain in my heart just won't depart
Nor is it turning to stone
Oh Joan, Oh Joan...
(solo)
Can't be bothered to eat, in my soul there's defeat
And the nausea's returning
Was it this hard before putting both feet on the floor
At the start of each morning
As the days go by I find myself hoping and yearning
To finally find the peace in your last retreat
From this world and it's turning
I'll keep trying over and over again...
Oh Joan, Oh Joan
Why did you leave me alone
Now this pain in my heart just won't depart
Nor is it turning to stone
Oh Joan, My Joan...
And that's when it all hit me
When you left me standing in that empty room
Holding Lily in my arms
The sweetest flower that ever bloomed.
