Cockrum
The song is about Carly and her sisters after the death of her mother. Going through her mothers things and fighting over unimportant things because they miss their mother. She sings about the spotlight on the stage being empty.

Wow. I do not know but if you find out please let me know the name of the song. I would love to hear it. I love Carley Simon, just today at a used CD store found a collection of CD's in a pack and got them real resonable maybe that song will be on it they are in the truck so I can listen to them when I am in the truck but will listen out for it. Would love to know the name of it and hear it myself.

Lyrics by: Carly Simon Music by: Carly Simon
Dear mother the struggle is over now And your house is up for sale We divided your railway watches Among the four of us
I fought over the pearls With the other girls But it was all a metaphor For what is wrong with us
As the room is emptying out Your face so young comes into view And on the back porch is a well-worn step And a pool of light that you can walk into
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river...
Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx? Do you know any more about God? Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin On the face of the moon? Have you reconciled with Dad? Does the rain still make you sad? Last night I swear I could feel you Moving through my room
And I thought you touched my feet I so wanted it to be true And in my theater there is a stage And a footlight you can always step into
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river...
In the river I know I will find the key And your voice will rise like spray In the moment of knowing The tide will wash away my doubts
'Cause you're already home Making it nice for when I come Like the way I find my bed turned down Coming in from a late night out
Please keep reminding me Of what in my soul I know is true Come in my boat, there is a seat beside me And two or three stars we can gaze into
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you forever Like a river...
(From Romulus Hunt - LNS CD Only) I'll never leave, always just a dream away A star that's always watching Never turn away We'll never leave, always just a thought away A candle always burning Never turn away The moon will hide, the tree will bend I'm right beside you I'll never turn away
