Cut the deck

There’s a bridge between Presby and Montefiore

A pocket of cards, I walked to all of your floors

Remember when it snowed, but I could go down Forbes

Just an Oakland walk to your door

And to the gift shop, I went down to buy

The deck with the tie dye, the cartoon smile, and I

Walked alone with a chocolate phone in Starzl Hall

They said you’d never get it

But you got it, and more

I hope it’s in my genetics

Waiting in a shop drawer

I don’t know what to look for

Can you close your eyes

Can you smilе again

Can you crack a dad joke at a nurse again

Can I give you minе

Can I cash out inheritance

Can you hear me

Cut the deck

There’s a kid and she’s running down the dock and you’re

Watching from the wheel, listening to her, before

The sun comes up today we’ll pull away from shore

The coffee’s black, the pastries are warm

And then later tonight you’ll sit outside

Eat up, our catch is fried, the cribbage board’s inside

So I’ll go grab it with a zero, and we’ll peg up

You said never forget it

Sang it every day

Added my name and said it

Everything’s gonna be okay

You’ll want us to be okay

Can you close your eyes

Can you smile again

Can you crack a dad joke at a nurse again

Can I give you mine

Can I cash out inheritance

Can you hear me

Can you close your eyes

Can you smile again

Can you crack a dad joke at a nurse again

Can I give you mine

Can I cash out inheritance

Can you hear me

Can you hear me
