Far
The staff is backing for you George ordered it
An executive order from the president to his own mother, that's rich
Tell him I refuse to go
But you can't and you know you can't, ok
No, I'm not going in I'm staying right here
Tell her to leave
I'm staying right here
Right here in the stupid cold
Looking at that stupid ocean with you
Tell her this is our day
And I'm not going in till you come to your senses
Fine well I am fine I'm gonna sit right here
Suit yourself, she can, tell her to go
Tell her, mommy
You know I don't like you smoking
I don't like you not smoking
I'm not a fan of these waters
They're mean looking
Imagine being out there,not in a boat or anything
Just alone in all that cold grey
I don't know bigness
But then I think about if we're out there
All alone I'd soon or later not care
Just let whatever happens happen
You'd drown
I guess
A miserable way to die
But there must be some beauty in just letting go
Giving up
I wouldn't no surrender
I think that letting go is different from giving up
I'd fight to my last breath
Of course you would, that's what you'd do
The grandet granny
That's you, tell her to go
Would you please go away
You're impossible
Laura, I didn't mean it the way it sounds
I know I'm lying I did mean it
I know
You're so easy why is that
I'm not easy I've got complications just like everyone else
I just don't get all bent out of shape about them anymore
Being married to George it's easier to be easy about things
He's that way so I can be too
They hate him they hate my son
No, not everyone
He's so unpopular, I didn't raise my son to be unpopular
It must be very hard for you
No, not at all I love him, I stay out of the way
I try to make things easier for him
He loves me for that , my husband and I have a different arrangement
There was and is love but we weren't together
For the presidency we want it together
We lost it together and we got it back didn't we
Oh yes we did but now everything we worked for
All of it undone all of it obscured by a mediocre son
What an awful thing to say, the spiteful thing you are
You didn't raise him to be unpopular you must be crazy you never raised that boy
You ignored him as a child you ignored him all his life
You never give him the thing he needed most
The thing he scared for you never praised him for
You wonder why he is the way he is look at yourself
You wonder why he does the things he does then ask yourself
You remember the day when your little girl died
But did you forget how your little boy cried
How you left him all alone, no wonder all he's known is what he fears
You made him be afraid of his own tears
What an awful way to life what an awful life you have
And I should hate you but that's too good for you
You're too pathetic you don't deserve my hate
So do us all a favor and go marching to that wedding
Do it for you [?] do it now why wait
My husband the president is running very late
It's my day mommy not George's not hers mine remember
What you scared of
All smiles good girl bright eyes that twinkle pink hudgens skin that wrinkles
Got the wrist and knees
When robin got sick we didn't let george see her
We didn't want him getting sad around her
No tears no tears and when she died on this day 50 years ago
She died in my arms, my husband almost came apart
But I didn't let him no tears George
The next morning he went out to play golf with my father
He didn't tell anyone
I imagined if someone saw us
They'd say what are you doing
Your daughter just died and you're playing golf
No tears no tears then we drove to George's school
He got into the back seat we told him his little sister was dead
No tears George no tears
We left him with my parents and hurried back to Texas
We had to for business my husband's mother and a friend buried Robin
We forbade George to go to the funeral
No tears George no tears
And that's the way it was and my hair went white
Maybe what we did maybe how we did it made him what he is
Don't really know
No tears
