McAlmont, "My Grey Boy"
(1995)

I'm afraid to live this way
It's closing in
Watching you age
With all the speed
In quiet retreat
Unholy reprise
Of loves that we are missing
when you're away
I get these premonitions
Fears if ever you were missing

Still needing you to keep listening
To talk with you
Am I to be everything
Knowing I was always your memory
Yours, watching you
In questioning
In losing you
I'd be you
I'd heal you
But this just won't come

My grey boy with another skin
Is now wandering
Almost with ease
If he's unrestrained
I'm hushed in here
No closer so take me on the way
Don't pass me by
Let me slip within him
Rage, however can you name this?

Still needing you to keep listening
To talk with you
Am I to be everything
Knowing I was always your memory
Yours, watching you
In questioning
In losing you
I'd be you
I'd heal you
But this just won't come

Were you there?
You were
You were
Are you still?
You are
You are

Yours, watching you
In questioning
In losing you
I be you
I heal you
But this just won't come

Were you there?
You were
You were
Are you still?
You are
You are
Were you there?
You were
You were always there
Are you still?
You are
