The One AM Radio - Lest I Forget lyrics

When your father's ghost came round, you bade him to please stay, but he just slipped away. You cried all night in bed, as I held your trembling head. I said, "You've lost too much too fast. But this too, Will pa**." The last night when you left your old New England town, by the cold Long Island Sound, Your winsome voice was pinched. When I leaned in close, you flinched. You'd changed so much, so fast, but I thought, "This too, will pa**." I rode down the dark street and stopped out in the snow. I watched my friends through their front window. They laughed under the lights, but I turned towards the night. They don't know not to ask, though this, too, will pa**.
