Sad is man & woman age lost

In willows care I find you there
Life is as empty as is the day
tears are said and paid instead
with memories that won't go away
grass is green with dew left to play

Old rope is hanging down tire round
Life spins like the top of your impish smile
still can see you there swinging in the air
my heart leaps up to the sky with you
in willows care I find you swinging there
free from travesty without a care

Crippled now tied to bed no place to rest your head
Oh how much pain can I with stain I cry in vain
Memories scream at me trapped in this vanity
Money keeps you there nobody cares
How I want to take you home with me
Kids yell pop gotta go

I cry for you and weep for me
each has a wooden bowl
carved from a cold soul
and soon we will be
free of this reality

Tough, tough piece, this one. Reality sometimes is taken with a jab in the kidnesy. i really liked this, there was a section of it that hit a little close to home.
