Bill Fenner was my father-in-law. When death came knocking for a visit, Bill was in a Huntsville hospice room the window of which had a view of a wooded area ending in the main road to town. He was convinced there were deer out there.

lyrics

Deer Outside my window

I see deer outside my window
Deer outside my window
Running through the trees
Oh, I wish I could run with them
Wish I could run with them
But they won’t let me

“Deer aren’t really out there, father
Deer aren’t out there, papa
Only cars you see”
And they tuck my blanket closer
Tuck my blanket closer
On my chilly feet

You say you love me I know it’s true
Even as I love you my legs are dying
I can’t run to you

I try getting out of bed
Getting out of bed
Is harder than it seems
Farm work with my aunt and uncle
For my aunt and uncle
Was that all a dream?

they say they love me I know it’s true
even when I’m smiling My legs are dying
I can’t run…

I see deer outside my window
Deer outside my window
No matter what you say
I’ll remember them tomorrow
Once again tomorrow
Once again, once again
Once if only one more day.
