For No One (Dementia Version)

 For No One (Dementia Version)

(For No One)

The day dawns, my mind’s gone

Each day is just the same in this dementia fog

When the World no longer needs you

She wakes up, she makes up

She spins around the Sun with monotonous ease

And no longer needs you

 

And in my eyes, you see nothing

No sign of life behind the tears

Cried for no one

A life through all these wasted years

 

I get dressed, I get fed

Can’t remember full of much dread

Monotony abounds here

Nothing here to do

 

And in my eyes, you see nothing

No sign of life behind the tears

Cried for no one

A life through all these wasted years

 

I stay home, can’t  go out

She says that long ago she knew someone

But now he's gone, she doesn't need him

 

The day dawns, my mind’s gone

There will be times when all the things she said will fill my head

But I won’t remember

 

And in my eyes, you see nothing

No sign of life behind the tears

Cried for no one

A life through all these wasted years
