"Stanley"

There once was a man named Stanley
The son of Delores and Jim
And they lived out there in America somewhere
They never had much more than his sisters and him

Children they got a habit of growin'
As their father's turn into old men
Until the day that his faded away
With Stanley there holdin' his hand

And Stan never found him a lady
So he never had kids of own
But he was uncle and brother and friend to some others
Til it was his turn to pass on

There's a photo book up in some attic
And someone will find it someday
And they'll flip through the pages tryin' to put names to faces
But maybe there's on that nobody can place

Cause he never found him a lady
So he never had kids of his own
But he was uncle and brother and friend to some others
But now even the memory is gone

Cause time only goes one direction
Like a train rollin' into the night
And it don't slow or stall and it makes dust of us all
Leavin' only the darkness behind

But there once was a man named Stanley
The son off Delores and Jim
And he lived out there in America somewhere
I never knew him but this one's for him
I never knew him but this one's for him
