dementia is a bitch
i long for the days i used to know,
have you seen my husband?
he was here just now,

i long for the days i used to know,
i havn't eaten yet,
no im hungry now

i long for the days i used to know,
have you see my Terri,
no he is not dead now,

i long for the days i used to know,
things wern't as confusing as they are right now,

my husbands not dead,
oh no not our Ted,
i didn't just eat i have just arrived,
my Terri's a boy barely even five,

'oh my dear, your minds playing tricks'
'you seem to forget you lived here for years'
'you have something called demetia'
'come on no more tears'

i long for the days i used to know,
my son and my huband and i,
we were once so very happy
but now its all gone

'we have been through this my dear'
'i've told you ten times, they are not here'
'now go away and ask me later'

i long for the days i used to know.
