• Last night as i lay to sleep,
    i begin to stray in a darken haze.
    I'm almost gone when i hear a weep,
    for momma lay weeping away.

    I get up to ask why,
    when i looked upon her she was holding a note,
    I took the folded paper that said he had died,
    tears in my eyes i run to the lake close by looking for the boat.

    Darkness falling all around,
    crying like a dark storm.
    Crickets chirping all around,
    happily in a chiorus form.

    Finding the boat,
    i row the the island in the middle of the lake.
    Taking long strokes,
    remembering him for memories sake!

    Getting to the island,
    i lay looking at the stars for a sign.
    Listening to the crickets sounding like a band,
    remembering the father of mine.

    I think back at momma for how sad she looked,
    trying to hold back the tears.
    Playing through the memories a time it took,
    looking at mom and pap from over the years.

    Tears now gone in morning light,
    i go back slowly back home to say.
    "Dearest mum it was god's delight,
    our memories of him will always stay!"
