Sorry For Your Loss - John Parish

I’m sorry for your loss

Of soul and hope

You find a better ride

American saddle bred

Most are good, see comet tail

A faithful dog, a yard sale

I’m sorry for your loss of will to keep the fight burnin' still

And the sun never felt

Colder

The window rattled and I wondered if you just

Passed over

I’m sorry for your loss

Of spirit that drained

From the gas tank leak you couldn’t plug

But only keep on toppin' up

And the sun never felt

Colder

The window rattled and I wondered if you just

Passed over

But in that lame, untethered state

You ran for years, featherweight

Beating best wing forward

And the sun never felt

Colder

The window rattled and I wondered if you just

Passed over
