You asked to be forgiven Before he knew the crime It's not that I don't love you A dagger of a line One day you'll understand, you promised Never could deliver Monday you're his mother, then Tuesday Gone forever Dorothy Would you play the piano for me? For me to hold in my memory You're the lead I'm the harmony One last time before you leave I've searched for you in all your places Hometown Tacoma Biz Point Anacortes Indiana, Oklahoma In every one you're long since gone Cold trail, cold case I'd ask around, but never found Much more than a trace Dorothy Would you write a poem for me? For me to keep in my wallet to read Do you have some kind words for me? One last time before you leave I've heard you loved old records I've heard you loved to dance Come to know you in a way that he Never had the chance Pain can't be contained In the end you lost the most Spread his ashes on your grave Now I'm dancing with your ghost Dorothy Would you play the piano for me For me to hold in my memory You're the lead I'm the harmony One last time before you leave Dorothy Would you write a poem for me? For me to keep in my wallet to read Do you have some kind words for me? One last time before you leave
