Riverbend

She's got morphine dreams, machine beeps and flashes
Hospital bed deja vue
A jungle of bags and tubes You gotta stay till they say it's okay
I just wanna go home and cuddle with you
In the seven years since the first incision
She has been my warrior queen
But this is the Last Blues, my Last Blues for you.
One More Time

Spring flowers mirrored in a IV bag, 
Her dew rag is filled with birds and bees
Her chemo nurse who for years was cheered by her spirit
Brings a blanket and with her eyes says to me,
“The road is so much steeper this time.
Should she fight back and suffer even more?”
This is the Last Blues, my Last Blues for you
One More Time

Her youngest daughter with newborn child 
Came two thousand miles to say hello and goodbye
Her eldest daughter held her hand as it grew still
This is the beauty of family ties
A thousand cranes for our wedding day
But now the wings of angels beat.
This is the Last Blues, my Last Blues for you
One More Time.
