Floating On a Memory

Tell me why is it so hard to love you

Tell me why is it so hard to care

If the world came crashing down upon you

Why did you have to put us here

Mama never had much sympathy

She left no room from for air

Papa was caught up in apathy

He wouldn't do much more than stare

Tell me why is it so hard to love you

Tell me why is it so hard to care

If the world came crashing down upon you

Tell me why did you have to put us here

Papa knew all about geometry

But seven were too much to care

Mama fell asleep under the the tree

Life was too dry to fully bear

Tell me why is it so hard to love you

Tell me why is it so hard to care

If the world came crashing down upon you

Tell me why did you have to put us here
