I didn't get to know
except through photographs and tales
of wars and joys and woe
Farewell to you, dear mum and dad
we tried to make it gel
to light the fuse, ignite the love
but truth, it's hard to tell
And you my beauty, brother-boy
who crashed right off the road
you wrecked yourself and those you loved
and left a heavy load
And sister, dear, yes love we had
warmer as the cancer spread
we worked at it, we made it spark
to burn even when we're both dead
