Tears In Rain (For Granny)

(album: Columbo - 2023)

We'll remember your smile
From all the family photographs
But after a while
We'll lose the timbre of your laugh
Sitting down in your chair
Smells like your perfume, but you're not there
So much I don't know, but it's gonna

Be a little while
Before I hear your voice again
'Til I can ask you all of the questions
That I should have asked you then
Like, how'd you take your coffee?
What's your favourite author's name?
'Cause it's all the little things that will be lost
Like tears in rain

How's it feel to die?
Does it hurt and are you all alone?
Or did the great gig in the sky
Make it feel like coming home?
What's your biggest regret?
Is there something you wish you had said?
So much I don't know, but it's gonna

Be a little while
Before I hear your voice again
'Til I can ask you all of the questions
That I should have asked you then
When did you learn to tie your shoes up
Or first sing a sweet refrain?
'Cause it's all the little things that will be lost
Like tears in rain

I know it's gonna be a little while
Before I hear your voice again
'Til I can ask you all of the questions
That I should have asked you then
Is it all a simulation?
Can you win the human race?
Do you even hear me?
Are you stardust lost in space?
And if I see you on the other side
Will you look the same?
'Cause it's all the little things that will be lost
It's all the little things that will be lost
Like tears in rain
