Dedicated to my mom who passed away from Alzheimer's Sept. 23, 2002.

I must be crazy or insane
Soon I won't even know my name.

The people I thought were my friends
Now they are saying contradicting things.

Is there something you're not telling me?
Don't be afraid, 'cause I won't be.

Down at the banks, and in the shopping malls
So many faceless people in the halls.

Two houses now, I have to roam
Everything the same, but which is home?

This man I knew, I think called Ray
Did he die, or just go away?

Those children around me, you say are mine
I don't even know them, but they're so kind.

Long ago memories, I now recall
Like photos of my father, hanging on the wall.

God help me, come sit with me
'Cause I don't known what's yet to be.
