lyrics

Your assistance is required
there's a bulb that's blown
I can't seem to get this thing done.

Haven't written since your birthday
I know it's difficult
these days to find the time.

I didn't ever want to have to ask for help
but since your uncle died it's been difficult.

But I'm fine
as long as you remember I'm around
when you're in town.

He was good with electronics
did you know he wired
the tree that's in our yard?

On a night I wasn't working
made it light up
so I thought it was on fire.

I didn't ever want to have to ask for help
but since your uncle died it's been difficult.

But I'm fine
as long as you remember I'm around
when you're in town.

And Lucas when he lost the way to speak
there was a little notepad we could use to communicate
I will not forget the sound his words would make
he wrote 'I love you' every night.

I love you.

Know you're working on your music
but this room is dark
at my age I might fall down.
