Saw you there, shorn of hair
Long gone look in your eye
Which one of us, has lost touch
Both of us could be insane
I knew you, I loved you, you were mine
I held you, I saw you, on the day that you were born
Too far gone to get involved
There are things that will never be resolved
You're out there, I've seen you, a living ghost
Drifting through a crowd, with your insides hanging out
There is a version of you in my memory
Where kindness kills off every cruelty
There is a version of you
That will always be mine
I loved you, and I knew
Something was wrong
You lashed out at nothing
Restless, since you were born
There’s a version of you in my memory
That will always be my sweet Gene
There’s a version of you in my memory
Where kindness kills off every cruelty
You’ll always be my sweet Gene
