about
My father's loss through Alzheimer's shook me to the foundations, and of course I'm deeply afraid of being diagnosed with the same condition. Featuring the Arco String Quartet.
lyrics
Dignity Thief
Old man, this disease is a dignity thief.
It strips old trees naked, leaf by leaf.
Of course - of course I’m afraid.
You were up to your knees at the water’s edge.
And then you went down the river, til you came to the bridge.
Of course - of course I’m afraid.
If words are a necklace of beautiful beads,
now you can’t lay your hand on the one that you need.
Of course - of course I’m afraid.
Old man, this disease is a dignity thief.
It strips old trees naked, leaf by leaf.
Of course I’m afraid that it’s coming for me,
of course I’m afraid, of course I’m afraid.
