Rate Say Uncle LyricsArtist : Vienna Teng Song : Say Uncle
Send "Say Uncle" Ringtone to your Cell 
everyone agrees it came too soon
it was only meant to be an intersection
you kept fear of death in back pocket of your
jeans
in the palm of your hand, affection
it came like a sudden gust of wind
leaving them, bewildered, to ask how
I recall last time we met you said we'd meet
again
the irony is only bitter now
these days everyone cries "say
uncle"
they want to touch your spirit lest it die
for this your sons and widow gather with us at
the table
to form a healing circle for our new demise
these days everyone cries "say
uncle"
I retrieve the memories quickly as I can
add them to the portrait we all draw in our
minds
your body gone, we shall keep the man
I close my eyes and hope they do not fade
these remnants of a voice and of a smile
images of landscape cloaked in forest green
like your life unfolding mile by mile
a fierce embrace, a word of thanks
a cheerful whistle and hours in a van
somehow these pieces must bring back the man you
were
though the ocean claims your ashes on the
sand
Send "Say Uncle" Ringtone to your Cell
