"Mother And Child 1982"

Mother and child in 1982
Poster with the [?] for the danger
An old man in a white coat comes marching in the room
"Your baby's gonna pull through; he's doing fine"

After-hours and lab coats
It's the father of the gang
Cutting bone cross-stitch for the needy
A sack of fish will pardon for a penny in the bank
Working on the future, don't give a break

Do you ever look back?
Do you peer into the rearview?
Do you ever take time to contemplate?
Do you ever break down?
Wonder if you're gonna die soon?
What it means to be alone
After the other one goes
After the other one goes

Last year of the century
With two children out the door
Father left for a reason at the table
Big words turn vapor
With the closing of the prayer
Surely Christ does care for everyone

Do you ever look back?
Do you peer into the rearview?
Do you ever take time to contemplate?
Do you ever break down?
Wonder if you're gonna die soon?
What it means to be alone
After the other one goes
After the other one goes

Final child
Waves goodbye
From the back of a Greyhound bus
Sunshine
Wave beat lines on the surface
Time seems fleeting
Sentiment of all that was
Photo albums stuck on the bedside
