Song Information:

This is the original version of this song that I wrote about my mother's recent passing away. I wrote most of these words the night before her funeral, just about how I felt at the time. I'd spent the day with my mother's older sister a couple days before and some of the lines come from things she told me.

I play pretty much everything, a couple of acoustic guitar tracks, bass guitar, lap steel guitar, organ, electric and acoustic piano, some synth pads, some scratchy vocals, and then I used Drums on Demand loops and Sonic Boombox percussion loops.

Sorry if this seems a bit heavy. A lot of people have a hard time dealing with death, and this is my way.

Song Lyrics:

The wheels have come off
Im more or less set adrift
And its a big horizon
When your perspective shifts
But Ill pick up the pieces
As thats all there is
I know
As the world turns around
It spins only one way

You cant help but move on
Take it one day at a time
Im losing track of my metaphors
In a sea of bad rhyme
But it helps to get it out
Just as it sometimes helps to cry
But dont take my word for it
You should try it sometime

As another day gets put in the ground
Itll come back on the other side
(solo section)

I keep hearing her voice
Its like I have no choice
Shes still right here as if she never left
worn at the edge
The memorys frayed
But well worn just the same

The wheels have come off
Seems like I drag through the day
Slowly passing through the hours
And I sometimes dont know what to say
I know this too will pass
And it wont always be this way

Ill put it all back together
In the proper time and place
