Dementia in the mirror

Dementia in the mirror
Whos that in the mirror that i see
Is it you it cant be me
For she is old and i am young
The dance of dementia has begun
What is your name
Oh i should know
You said you new me long ago
Well long ago when i was me
I had adventures by the sea
Iwas a wife a friend a mother
We used to chat to one another
And now i sit here sipping tea
A knitted blanket on my knee My life is strange now
Ill agree
But somewhere there is still some me
Dont talk about me when im near
Undertand i live in fear
Hold my hand and speak me
Is that you it cant be me
