    This is a good old, factory made & conventionally printed CD; which is to say it's not handprinted by Eleanor but it's got all the songs on there plus liner notes. It actually wasn't made in a factory it was made up in Maine by our friends at Crooked Cove who have a small CD making operation.

lyrics

She’s never left home and—
she’s needed there
I know he’s not well...tell me
now she’s working across town
now she’s helping him lay down
now she leans across his sleeping eyes
and listens to his sick breath
thin breath

There is a house here and—
it eases death
I know you’re not well...tell me
I leave gifts outside your door
I will try to soothe your sore
you know that’s what I’m here for

But I can only be there to walk you home
I cannot be there to know your depth of sorrow
I can only be there to hear you

She bears a weight but—
she thinks of you
so don’t forget the daughter, it’s her father
now she sets her sad aside
her river’s deep her water’s wide
she said no matter how small the matter
know in me you can confide

Chorus

The time is near and---
I will be there
you remember that first fear, years back
an animal entered in the ring
cancer is a hungry thing
but I’ve never known a man
to cling to life so fierce and fight so long
and when he’s gone

Chorus
