Where were you when all this came about

Where were you when they began to shout

I could be wrong; was it a whisper

That started all this, where were you my sister?

Did you love when you thought to leave

Did you think that I could still breathe

Did you cry, did you shudder

Did you care about our mother?

I heard a laugh ring through this night

I heard a cry, I heard a fight

And did I hear you hurt each other

Did you weep and miss your lover?

Are you surprised I can't be near you

Do you think that I don't HEAR you?

Am I alone when I remember;

Do I alone dread next December?

When YOU came home I felt alone

When YOU said hi it meant goodbye

When YOU said yes you really said never

And now I cry and YOU

Wonder why?
