As I watch the gray clouds come in
The fog fills another day's sky
When it lifts it pulls us all with
What has happened is why I can't believe
The heavy words made the gray turn white
Another life gone an extinguished light
I've tried to stitch myself back together
The steams are being pulled every which way
Those clouds hover so close above never dissipate
The blame begins with no fault intact
The he swerved, she swerved kind of attack
The simple mention of all those involved
The screams and the cries that came upon strong
Then the gentle silence between the world shattering sobs
We're not all wrong or at our bitter end
Those words come clearly etched in my head again
It's just our fate, we can't slow down
Cause there stands death
You have to meet him now

All at once, you were gone.
Never to return to our home
where I grew up, where you
by Lori Wyman
I lie in the darkness,
feeling all alone,
thinking of a little angel sitting on your throne.
Her blue eyes sparkling in
As I watch the gray clouds come in
The fog fills another day's sky
When it lifts it pulls us all with
What has happened
