In the borders of my mind
I can look out and celebrate your life
In the borders of my mind
I can make sense of what you left behind

A father sees beyond his needs
But you were lost in the weeds beyond your means
And we don’t practice honesty
But I need to understand the world you see

The falling leaves
Soldiers in the trees
Vietnam’s bad dreams
All came before me

In truth at times I feel the bite
And I lose all sense of what was wrong or right
This barking dog, this neighbor’s light
All seem more real to me than your whole life

Can we make that right
Before I lose my mind?
Every single night
Are we losing time?

Daddy, please some honesty
Lay your memory at my feet
Daddy, please some honesty
Lay your memory at my feet
At my feet

The falling leaves
Soldiers in the trees
Vietnam’s bad dreams
All came before me
All came before me
All came before me
Lay them at my feet
All came before me
