Aiden Beatty - Gone (September) Lyrics

She always had a pack of camel lights
In a drawer in the kitchen
Towards the end she couldn't walk upstairs
Chemo drains away your strength

The walls were green and the ceiling yellow
Shades of pine and piss
I was in the basement when they called
To tell me she was gone

We'd go out back and chase the squirrels off the grapes
Then pick em to make our jelly
Her daughter still has the armchair where she used to sit
Maybe her ghost is there still

I loved that woman to death
Loved her til her dying breath
But i was in the basement when they called
To tell me she was gone

But i was in the basement when they called
To tell me she was gone
