about

Joan Sproule is my Nanny. She passed away a few years ago. I wrote this in lieu of attending her bedside, or her funeral. I loved her. I miss her.

lyrics

Dear Joan,
please don’t go.
This melody
is a stop order;
tell death to go to hell,
I know you won’t I know you will.
We need you here with us still,
I know you won’t I know you will.

Laughed until we cried
we’ll cry until we laugh;
walk around this earth
Joan tattooed upon my breast.

Joan, please don’t go;
nurse in world war.
Once again, once more,
put us before yourself.
Breath deep, just breath,
Breath deep, just breath.

Chorus:
Laughed until we cried
we’ll cry until we laugh;
walk around this earth
Joan tattooed upon our breast.

Slideshow photograph,
Joan, it’s not time yet;
seawall walks to the past,
Joan, it’s not time, just yet.
Come, sit, watch over us,
we’ll watch over you;
finite episode,
infinite feel.

Dear Joan,
please don’t go.
This melody
is a stop order.
Tell death to go to hell,
I know you won’t I know you will;
We need you here with us still,
I know you won’t I know you will;
Walk around this earth,
I know you won’t I know you will;
Walk around this earth,
I know you will, I know you will
