Mother will be moving soon, though she does not know where
Or why she cannot live alone or provide her own care
Her mind is going the way of song
Floating and fading away
What do you hear? Tell me what year

She settles in her rocking chair, steaming cup in hand
I strum the same guitar I've owned since joining my first band
Her mind can't hold the melody
Or follow my simple commands
Chorus and verse. So she must ask

Oh, do you play?
Yes I do
But not for fame and not for gold
And many times I play the fool
Oh, do you play?
Yes it's true
For many reasons I cannot explain
I play for you

When words won't come she blinks her eyes or frowns and grits her teeth
She cannot find the purse she lost, the one she hid from thieves
I find her favorite candy in
A suitcase in the garage
Is it still sweet? Or sour defeat?

Oh, do you play?
Yes I do
But not for fame and not for gold
And many times I play the fool
Oh, do you play?
Yes it's true
For many reasons I cannot explain
I play for you
I play for you
I play for you
