This song is from the perspective of someone losing her memory. Maybe Alzheimers or dementia – she has memories, but isn’t quite sure if they’re real or not.

I can’t quite remember
I cannot quite see
What it was I wanted from you
‘Cause everyone’s so busy
And sometimes I get lost
Before you know it, it’s all throughI guess so, anyway
At least that’s what I’ll say
Just as long as my mind will obeyI was once a cowgirl
At least or so I think
I drove cattle across the range
I lived through Prohibition
My friends died in the war
But somehow this seems much more strangeI guess so, anyway
At least that’s what I’ll say
Just as long as my mind will obeyHello, I love you all
Your names, I cannot quite recallDoes it make a difference
If there is a past
Or if it’s all just in my mind?
I feel like I’m floating
Gently on the sea
Come on in, the water’s fineI guess so, anyway
At least that’s what I’ll say
Just as long as my mind will obey
