Barrett
laughter came so easy
upon that christmas day
simple prayers answered
as you'd come to find your way
i'd held you as a child
and taught you the word ' no'
to read between the lines
when there's nowhere else to go
from running in the park
to just sitting on the stoop
it seemed that time raced on
til it caught you in a loop
did you find the answer
in the music that you wrote
a drum beat for a melody
in a time that's now remote
can the world we're in now
ever know what has been lost
sun has set on christmas day
without you, at such a cost
