Madeline playing with her mandolin

And she's meddling with her pills, they put the metal in

She's got a medal in clearing out her memory

You can't remember it, but you meddled with your mandolin

I see it in your eyes, in the not-so-pretty

Moments of the night when you're on the floor

Curled up in your car 'cause you miss the glow

Oh, I could never ask for more

I think my memory's fading (dementia)

Took me from the schoolyard to the park

At the corner where you're handing

Handing out your heart, beggin' for a start

At a life where you lose

And a house you can't choose

I see it in your eyes, in the not-so-pretty

Moments of the night when you're on the floor

Curled up in your car 'cause you miss the glow

Oh, I could never ask for more

Maybe it's a matter of time, time

Maybe it's a matter of time, time, time

Maybe it's a matter of time, time

Maybe it's a matter of time, time, time

I thought I saw your face

And then I saw it fade

And when I saw it fade

I thought I saw your face

I thought I saw your face

And then I saw it fade

And when I saw it fade

When she was only sixteen, Madeline was in a house full of joy and wonder

Laughter echoes through the halls like a soft and endless thunder

But the lights went out

And then she forgot everything

I see it in your eyes, in the not-so-pretty

Moments of the night when you're on the floor

Curled up in your car 'cause you miss the glow

Oh, I could never ask for more

Maybe it's a matter of time, time

Maybe it's a matter of time, time, time

Maybe it's a matter of time, time

Oh, I could never ask for more
