about

I visited my unconscious father in hospice the night he died. This song was our conversation.

lyrics

I’ve been meaning to call for some time, it’s true,
Now I find your phone is dead and so are you,
I’m sorry I waited a little too long,
Ah, but you know how it goes,
‘Cause you’re gone.

We were never that close except for that one time,
I unzipped your heart for you and you unzipped mine,
And in that sacred moment no one was wrong,
Ah, but you know how it goes,
That moment is gone.

Won’t you meet me tonight down here below,
In your pretty, pretty garden
Where that old tree grows,
We can dance around it,
I’ll whisper your name,
You know how it goes,
That was your favorite game.

When I saw you last night didn’t look good,
Cobbled all together like that with wire and wood,
And suckin’ from that bottle I will one day sip,
Now, you know how it goes
With a morphine drip.

Now that you have crossed that last finish line,
There’s some things you could clear up about the other side,
And all he said, I swear it, I’ll swear it all night long,
Was “You’ll know how it goes
When you’re gone.”

Won’t you meet me tonight
Down here below,
In your pretty, pretty garden
Where that old tree grows,
We can dance around it,
We’ll sing your favorite song,
You know how it goes,
So come on, sing along,
Yeah we can dance around it
We’ll sing your favorite song
You’ll know how it goes when you’re gone.

Yeah, You’ll know how it goes
when you’re gone
