Tuck You In
Pull the covers up to touch your chin
Let my fingers linger on your skin
Your eyelids drop the fight to stay awake
Busy day, you watched me cook
Read two of your favorite books
Now the twinkle in your eye is out
Like candles on a cake
Being mortal's not a sin
Hard to see life's twists
Around the bend
You look so peaceful when you sleep
Father time will always win,
And I know that when I tuck you in
This time
It'll be long before we meet
On back streets past your old home
The front porch looks so all alone
I drove you around like you used to do for me
Feed you a sip through a straw
I know the bedsheets rub you raw
Maybe when the nurse come by she'll see
Morphine sulfate and ginger ale
Motorized bed with cold steel rails
First floor room blacked out to help you sleep
Father time will always win,
And I know that when I tuck you in
This time
It'll be long before we meet
We never really got along
Your vodka, your pills, made you so strong
This last time I'll stay,
And rub your feet
Father time will always win,
And I know that when I tuck you in
This time
It'll be long before we meet
Let my fingers linger on your skin
Your eyelids drop the fight to stay awake
Busy day, you watched me cook
Read two of your favorite books
Now the twinkle in your eye is out
Like candles on a cake
Being mortal's not a sin
Hard to see life's twists
Around the bend
You look so peaceful when you sleep
Father time will always win,
And I know that when I tuck you in
This time
It'll be long before we meet
On back streets past your old home
The front porch looks so all alone
I drove you around like you used to do for me
Feed you a sip through a straw
I know the bedsheets rub you raw
Maybe when the nurse come by she'll see
Morphine sulfate and ginger ale
Motorized bed with cold steel rails
First floor room blacked out to help you sleep
Father time will always win,
And I know that when I tuck you in
This time
It'll be long before we meet
We never really got along
Your vodka, your pills, made you so strong
This last time I'll stay,
And rub your feet
Father time will always win,
And I know that when I tuck you in
This time
It'll be long before we meet
