Austen

All the stories my father told,

They spoke of your golden heart.

Now the air in the room is cold,

As your memories fall apart.

You fear the silence,

So I keep the words coming.

You only remember that

Once all the clocks stop running,

We might expect it

But my heart's still filled with dread.

And words I never said,

Words I never said.

Give me strength to see you weak,

'Cause I can't bear to let you leave.

I know you're tired, but please don't sleep,

'Cause I can't bear to let you leave.

You've been claimed by your suffering,

Sinking deeper in your pain.

If you made a recovery,

Could you ever be the same?

You fear the silence,

So I keep the words coming.

You only remember that

Once all the clocks stop running,

We might expect it

But my heart's still filled with dread.

And words I never said,

Words I never said.

Give me strength to see you weak,

'Cause I can't bear to let you leave.

I know you're tired, but please don't sleep,

'Cause I can't bear to let you leave.

I tower over your hospital bed,

Like you used to with me.

I tower over your hospital bed,

Like you used to...

Strength to see you weak,

'Cause I can't bear to let you leave.

Give me strength to see you weak,

'Cause I can't bear to let you leave.

I know you're tired, but please don't sleep,

'Cause I can't bear to let you, bear to let you leave.
