Say Uncle lyrics

Artist  : 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
