about

Sylvia's dementia and the young, clever, hardworking woman she once was.

lyrics

The train that carries all your words has crashed in the dark

You were minding me in The People’s Park
Under a grainy black and white sun
You grasped every chain of reason
Before almost anyone
Hurrying away from the choppy sea
Toiling up that murderous hill every year
Columns of figures and ancient machines
Only once did I catch you drop one quick tear

Who could fathom your introspection?
We laid the table and lit the fire
For you could manage every other work
Boil and bake, wash, enlighten and inspire
All those prizes that you lightly won
A box of snapshots locked in your brain
The shutters slam down and windows are barred
As you physically come undone
