The tears, they want to flow
But I can’t stand to bear

The pain behind the salt
The water leaking fear

The thoughts I’ve put aside
Thinking that was a way

To give you one more chance
To give you one more day

The clock is ticking fast
Midnight will be here soon

Your time with me will end
A new song will play a tune

As my life takes on a turn
That will see me without you

So scared of what will come
Don’t know what I will do

To watch you lying still
Each gasp becomes a feat

Wish you’d leap out this bed
Without help to your feet.

You used to repeat your words
Asking me the same thing thrice

Now I’m longing just to hear
You say my name, once or twice.

From birth we creep to death
The time between counts the most

I’m afraid to watch you go
Your love, I will keep close.
