As part 1 of this song, it is but a short slowed down version of the first verse.
I remember when my father's father died and how he felt about it. It was the closest I saw my father being emotional. I actually wrote this song soon after that in 1976. I was 19.
I understood back then what it meant to the emotions. Of course I used poetry to get my thoughts across. I hope can see what I was trying to say.
lyrics
The evening tells us never – the morning says she may
Through this all a song stands clear of warning of a day
The hostile children flourish abandoning the way
And parents are invited to have just one more day
