Dora's Gone

Dora's gone
Uncle Willie's got no place to stay
Uncle Willie's got no more to say
He's awful sad. He's awful sad
More than 60 years on a farm with children around them
Living in a country far away from where they were born

Long time ago
Dora came with Willie their home to find
Leaving family far behind
They went away, they went to pray
In a land where a smile comes free, a promise is golden
Living in a land where no one can break your door

Willie kept trying. Dora was dying
He held her in his arms
She smiled when he spoke of the family, the farm
Memories from the old country
To a place that's wild, that's free
Suddenly Dora's gone
Suddenly Dora's gone
She's gone

Old man walks slow
Thinking of a time long ago
No longer thinking where to go
Lives in a yesterday, memories fading away
Stops in a store, buys milk and butter
His fingers are worn, his heart is torn
What is it for
For Dora, to be with her again
For Dora, to be with her again
Someday
