What’s Left

She took care of him
And all the children
She always fed him
The children and the grandchildren
She came last
He came first
She was strong and he fell weak

He was hooked up to a life-prolonging machine
And he promised to wear a tutu and some toe shoes
Now I picture him strong and dancing
And she slowly loses hearing

But all she has is family
And all that matters is the family tree

What's left?
When you're done it all
What left?
When you've seen it all

Always watched the women be strong
Take care of everyone
Always watched the women be strong
Take care of everyone

And now he's dancing
And now he's dancing
And now he's dancing
And now he's dancing

Now he's gone with the cats and dogs and turtles
And gerbils buried in the backyard
He took the trees from her
She watches TV
Drinks her scotch and has ice cream for dinner
And now he's dancing

But all she has is family
And all that matters is the family tree

What's left?
When you've done it all
What's left?
When you've seen it all

Always watched the women be strong
Take care of everyone
Always watched the women be strong
Take care of everyone

And now he's dancing
And now he's dancing
And now he's dancing
And now he's dancing
What's left?
And now he's dancing
What's left?
And now he's dancing
What's left?
And now he's dancing
What's left?
And now he's dancing
What's left?
And now he's dancing
What's left?
