turn out the lights/ close the door
i'll not be taking visitors anymore
shut off the power/ take down the sign
and let the machine answer the line
leave me alone/ not because i'm angry
just because i need to hear myself breathe
and be alive
and wonder why she's gone
since i was a boy/ always her voice
was ringing in the air around our home
how still the air/ winter is here
but missing is her warm familiar tone
leave me alone/ i just need a moment
to myself to quiet down to quiet down and grieve
and be alive
and miss how she is no longer nearby/
she's gone
