Tell him this is getting harder
In this house the walls are closing in
Tell him to recover faster
And make sure they are looking after him
Tell him that this loneliness
Is getting worse since he left, and listen
Tell him this is just a scare
He’s got to fight, this is unfair, I miss him
Come back, let’s play again
I know I’m gonna lose but I don’t care, it’s just a game
Come back, you gotta share
More stories with our grandkids, they are young they gotta learn
You know your smiles can cure me when I’m sore
I need them and I need your hugs once more
With my grandma’s desperate message
I pick up dad and I drive through the rain
As I go inside, I have a presage
but I can’t waste time, I am almost there
Then a nurse reads in my face
That I don’t know, she holds her breath and speechless
She breaks the news, we lost the race
but offers us to see him from a distance
Come back, let’s play again
I know I’m gonna lose but I don’t care, it’s just a game
Come back, you gotta share
More stories of your childhood, or the service, I don’t care
You know your smiles can cure me when I’m sore
I need them and I need your hugs once more
Crying, barely hanging on
My father says that hearing is the last sense to be gone
I look for the message in my phone
From my grandma isolated, quaranteening on her own
I play it for him, while she doesn’t know
He’s listening but he won’t come back home
Come back, let’s play again
I know I’m gonna lose but I don’t care, it’s just a game
Come back, you gotta share
More stories with our grandkids, they are young they gotta learn
You know your smiles can cure me when I’m sore
I need them and I need your hugs once more
