Cut the Deck

There's a bridge between Presby and Montefiore
A pocket of cards, I walked to all of your floors
Remember when it snowed, but I could go down Forbes
Just an Oakland walk to your door

And to the gift shop, I went down to buy
The deck with the tie dye, the cartoon smile, and I
Walked alone with a chocolate phone in Starzl Hall

They said you'd never get it
But you got it, and more
I hope it's in my genetics
Waiting in a shop drawer
I don't know what to look for

Can you close your eyes
Can you smile again
Can you crack a dad joke at a nurse again
Can I give you mine
Can I cash out inheritance
Can you hear me
Cut the deck

There's a kid and she's running down the dock and you're
Watching from the wheel, listening to her, before
The sun comes up today we'll pull away from shore
The coffee's black, the pastries are warm

And then later tonight you'll sit outside
Eat up, our catch is fried, the cribbage board's inside
So I'll go grab it with a zero, and we'll peg up

You said never forget it
Sang it every day
Added my name and said it
Everything's gonna be okay
You'll want us to be okay

Can you close your eyes
Can you smile again
Can you crack a dad joke at a nurse again
Can I give you mine
Can I cash out inheritance
Can you hear me

Can you close your eyes
Can you smile again
Can you crack a dad joke at a nurse again
Can I give you mine
Can I cash out inheritance
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Cut the deck
