Uncle John's Music

Daddy's piano plays my sadness The funeral of a feeling with a funny uncle at the mass The windows feel the breeze it's 6 pm in the afternoon, in Lisbon The sun hides in a purple dusky sky We feel formal but weak We feel the missing of a heart

it is sad when someone leaves us, it as if the music stops for a little while, then we remember how they sat at that piano and played so beautifully, or sang, or danced, we remember them through rifts of music and song, we see them smile. x
