Debbie's Song Poem by Edith Niemeyer

[Verse]
Streetlights blur in the rain
A ghost in the window pane
Forty years a whisper
A quiet hurricane

[Prechorus]
My heart still skips
A silent eclipse

[Chorus]
Oh the world keeps spinning round
But your sad laughter still makes a sound
A phantom limb a missing piece
My old friend my sweet release

[Verse 2]
Now that you are 6 feet under
in the dirt.
No grown-up could ever hurt
Shared secrets under the moon
Gone too fast gone too soon

[Bridge]
They say time heals everything
A lie the birds don't sing
Every memory a golden thread
A conversation in my head

[Chorus]
Oh the world keeps spinning round
But your laughter still makes a sound
A phantom limb
My
missing
piece
