About my Uncle Mike who died of cancer a while back. He was the only other musician in my family. When I was a kid we got up early to watch him sing 'Take it to the limit' on a fishing TV program. He had his eyes closed the whole time 'cause he was nervous as hell.

lyrics

Through sleepy eyes I watched you play not long ago on an early morning fishing show. Just you and an acoustic and a microphone, bright lights, eyes closed. No one probably saw it or even cared but from up there i hope you know, that i did, and i cared, all by your lonesome there. It still burns my eyes, you still seem so alive. Guess people have to die, others are left behind. You still seem so alive. Through swollen eyes I watched you there not long ago, closing in on your time to go. Just you with no acoustic, no more microphones, lights out, eyes closed. And no one probably saw that morning fishing show, but from up there I hope you know, that i did, and i cared, all by your lonesome there. It still burns my eyes, you still seem so alive. Guess people have to die, others are left behind. You still seem so alive.
