Daddy was an awful drunk

Mommy was the loosest girl in town

Brother just some two bit punk

Rode his Harley D into the ground

Distant friends and relatives

Each of them a problem they would share

From the in-laws to the out laws

Quietly she would soak their despair

She was one of life’s lil’ angels

A job that don’t pay so well

Guiding those to heaven

That should’ve gone to hell

Was it really worth it?

Only time and death may ever tell

She was the brick

At the base

Of the house

A true foundation stone

She was the colour

And the sound

And the taste

And the rose of my cologne
