about

Not a wedding anniversary but the anniversary of a loss. Written after reading of the death of the son of Robert M Pirsig, author of Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. His son, as a child, was a key character in the book. In an epilogue from the book.

lyrics

It was the date that made me think
What would you have been like now?
We used to kid ourselves
It was all some kind of mistake
And you'd be back again somehow

I saw Jeanette get home from work
She never lets herself go slow
It's just my way to cope, she says,
keeping busy
Me, I just seem to let things go

So much is falling through the net these days
Out through the lonely hole you left behind
We miss you so
All your friends reach out towards each other
Out across a hole the shape of you

Of course I wonder where you are
And we all question what we did
Those who believe
Believe now more than ever
And some of those who don't wish they did


I wonder what you'd make of this
I wonder if it's what you'd choose
Sentimental lies, little things we celebrate
If celebrate's the word to use

It was the date that made me think
How it isn't over yet
Funny thing - what I'm most frightened of
Is the way I'll feel the first year I forget

So much is falling through the net these days ...
