[ It Seems Like Forever Since That Last Phone Call ]
[ If I Knew Then, What I Know Now ]
[ I Would Have Stalled ]

[ If I Knew That Would Be My Last Conversation Forever ]
[ I Wouldn’t Hang Up … Ever? ]

[ I Don’t Think That I Would ]
[ I Don’t Think That I Could ]

[ The Thought That We Would Never Again Talk ]
[ To Him ]
[ Oh The Thought ]
[ Would Make Me Balk ]

[ Forever Never Is An Awfully Long Long Time ]
[ All That I Can Do Now ]
[ Is Write My Pain Out In A Rhyme ]

[ Line After Line,  Word After Word ]
[ Hello World ]
[ Please Let Me Be Heard ]

[ Hug Your Family,  Pull Them Close ]
[ Make A Circle ]
[ Touch Nose To Nose ]

[ I Found That Brent Died Alone In His Sleep ]
[ There Was No Sound ]
[ Not Even A Peep ]
[ He Didn’t Look Around ]
[ Because His Slumber Was Deep ]

[ He Went Peacefully Into The Night ]
[ There Was No Struggle ]
[ There Was No Fight ]
[ He Had No Trouble ]
[ As He Walked Silently Towards The Light ]

[ There Was No Choice ]
[ He Heard Nobody’s Voice ]
[ & There Was No Noise ]

[ My Plan To Visit Came Three Weeks Too Late ]
[ My Brothers Spirit ]
[ Could Not Wait ]

[ There Was Nothing To Be Done ]
[ In That Moment ]
[ There Wasn’t Even One ]
[ More Comment ]

[ The Next Call From Las Vegas Was A Doozy ]
[ The Conversation Made Me Woozy ]

[ Oh,  Brother Brent ]
[ I Have So Many Regrets ]
[ Now,  I Feel So Spent ]
[ & As The Sun Sets ]
[ I’ve Lost All Track Of The Times When I’ve Wept ]

[ So Love Your Family,  Love Your Friends ]
[ You Just Don’t Know ]
[ When A Life Is Going To End ]
