##########THE NEW ALBUM IS FINISHED.#############
THIS IS NOT QUITE THE FINAL RELEASED VERSION OF THE TRACK.
#############################################
VISIT http//we/...
This was inspired by a friend of mine who pretty much dropped her life to take care of her parents, a slowly dying mother and a father who was succumbing to Alzheimer's disease, all alone with no help from other family. I'd lost touch with her and only found her again recently where she told me her story. This song is only roughly based on that. It's taken from other experiences and fears as well. It doesn't have to be this way but it often is.
All piano and string parts were "penciled" in, written note by note rather than played on the keyboard.

Lyrics
The paint peels on the window sill
and Emmet squints his eyes through the blinds
Someone's passing by,
Could it be his wife
a grey speck in Emmet's eye spreads like a cloud
No one's expected for tea
Emmet sinks back into his chair.
There's something he aught to do
but the daily horror show from the news is on the tube
He's waiting for something
The house settles and groans
Janine sorts through the pills
for her Pa, steals a Demerol
No one ever calls.
Ma's off at the home
And Pa's always lost off in his cloud,
slowly drifting away.
Janine sifts through her drawers
there's something that she'd wanted to do
but she waited for time, such a good girl
Now she's waiting for something
24 Shady Grove
Elaine sits alone by the door
with her Sunday best on
and Emmet squints his eyes through the blinds
Someone's passing by,
Could it be his wife
a grey speck in Emmet's eye spreads like a cloud
No one's expected for tea
Emmet sinks back into his chair.
There's something he aught to do
but the daily horror show from the news is on the tube
He's waiting for something
The house settles and groans
Janine sorts through the pills
for her Pa, steals a Demerol
No one ever calls.
Ma's off at the home
And Pa's always lost off in his cloud,
slowly drifting away.
Janine sifts through her drawers
there's something that she'd wanted to do
but she waited for time, such a good girl
Now she's waiting for something
24 Shady Grove
Elaine sits alone by the door
with her Sunday best on

So dark and beautiful...
Excellent vocals - really fit the atmosphere of the song.
Great piece of songwriting.
