I remember writing this song not long before Dad passed away. He had to go into a nursing home at the very end, and he eventually got to the point where he was just lying there, sort of staring into space. I remember sitting beside his bed and writing the lyrics for this song.

lyrics

Looking at you lying there
I face my own mortality
Looking out the window now
I see the wind blow through the trees
And I wonder... what it's like behind your eyes
And I wonder... if part of you already died

Thinking back to times we had
It seems impossible to me
That you could be the way you are
A stranger to reality
And I wonder... what it's like behind your eyes
And I wonder... if part of you already died

Looking at you lying there
I face my own mortality
Looking out the window now
I see the wind blow through the trees

And I wonder... what it's like behind your eyes
And I wonder... if this is all there is to life
And I wonder... what lies on the other side
And I wonder... if part of you already died
