My mother told me on her d**hbed
'take care of your brother and father,
They can't make it on their own'
But when she was laid in her grave,
Her words I forgot, I looked the other way
Yes my father grew old and my brother he cried
But my hard heart could not be swayed
And when you called me the other day
I could not think of nothing to say
Though my very bones did shake for you
Yes my heart aches for the love I've missed
Maybe I could have kept you if I'd had more
Kindness
Oh mother please forgive me
For try as I will, I just am not built for giving,
I am not built for this.
