I’ve been told I have my Grandfather’s eyes
And I carry that fact with pride
I wonder if he’d be proud if he was still alive
I wanted to sleep through August ’99
I wish that we could speak even if it was just once a week
I could tell you my love for Kerouac and Morrissey
I wish that we could speak
Even if you don’t want to speak to me
You know I’d be happy just to have you listening
I was given a cardigan, that was once yours, and I wear it in winter to keep me warm
It holds your scent and I hope you know I miss you like hell
I keep a photo of you in a frame from your wedding day
And I carry you in my skin, in a heart draped in ribbon
