Rake up all the leaves in pleasant valley
It's the last day of my visit, (up-state New York)
To pay respects to the old man
He's still got his sense of humour
But his body fails him
He's surrounded by loved ones
And that only goes so far
And does he know where he is?
I doubt it
Jack the lion roaring his last
Like a vision sent from the past
Bedside, crying, holding his hands
Strong hands
Finally get a moment alone with the old man
He's having trouble breathing
And he's not the only one, only one
He wonders where time goes
And why we haven't spoken for so long
He regrets it
He forgets it
And none too soon...
Because he's closing his eyes and fading
Jack the lion roaring his last
Like a vision sent from the past
Bedside, crying, holding his hands
Strong hands
