lyrics

Meeting Eva
for the first time since I was a boy
at her daughter's place
in Washington Heights
When my mother
was out selling real estate
Eva watched over me most days
and many nights

She said
Put your toys away
Listen to what I say
and always remember
you will forget me
someday

I would try to
make her feel unwelcome
and say things to her face
that would turn her pale
Eva was no genius
but she knew enough to know
that I was a fool
who was bound to fail

She said
Put your toys away
Listen to what I say
and always remember
you will forget me
someday

Meeting Eva
for the first time since I was a boy
when the word came down
that she was frail
I ring the doorbell
I practice saying hello
but there's no answer
so I go
