Today My Sister Died

Today, Tuesday June 13th 2006, this morning, my older sister died.

The song I had been playing for years has solidified during the past year. As Lindas illness progressed I think I have it although it will probably get a few more verses. It really only means anything to me.

You and I at the top of the stair case
laughing and playing in that
sad, sad place
when all we had valued had been lost
the cost

there I stood the pain well learned
crying was all I had and the tears burned
crying is all that I have now and
Im crying

You and I at the top of the stair case
laughing and playing in that
sad, sad place
from the bedroom she came screaming out
She was failing

I climbed inside myself and cried
Like the child I was then
Crying was all I had and
Im crying, crying, youre dying.
