they'd hooked you up to a fentanyl drip
to mitigate the pain a little bit
i flew in from pennsylvania
when i heard the hour was coming fast
And i docked in santa barbara
tried to brace myself
but you can't brace yourself
when the time comes you just have to roll with the blast
and i'm an 18-wheeler headed down the interstate
and my brakes are gonna give and i won't know til it's too late
tires screaming when i lose control
try not to hurt too many people when i roll
[instrumental]
find the harbor freeway and head south
real tired, head kind of light
i found telegraph road, i'd only seen the name on envelopes
found the parking lot and turned right
i felt all the details carving out space in my head
tropicanas on the walkway neon red
between the pain and the pills trying to hold it at bay
stands a traveler going somewhere far away
and i am an airplane tumbling wing over wing
try to listen to my instruments they don't say anything
people screaming when the engines quit
i hope we're all in crash position when we hit
[instrumental]
and then came to your bedside
and as it turns out
i'm not ready
and as though
you were speaking through a thick haze
you said hello to me
we all stood there around you
happy to hear you speak
the last of something bright burning
still burning
beyond the cancer and the chemotherapy
and you were a presence full of light upon this earth
and i am a witness to your life and to its worth
it's three days later when i get the call
and there's nobody around to break my fall
