Never Dead

Laying here in bed

The nurse wheeled you in

Is this happening?

No, I've seen your face before

Standing at my door

But that was fifty years ago

And I don't know if it is true

Or is it really you?

Is my mind just reeling pictures of you?

You said "Sailor, yes it's me,"

"I've waited for this day and I love you."

Fifty years, I love you

It took a short moment but my soul remembers

The day we first met in the brisk November

My life had changed, I never felt the same

I realized then but I know for sure now

We were never born, we were never dead

And I've loved you so many lives before

Baby, take a look, now I'm old and crazy

For all that I know I'm hallucinating

But I was crazy when I met you, guess nothing changes

Including all the charm in our two old faces

And the dreams we both built

We were always chasing the same hospital, babe

It's me

Baby, it's me

I'm here love

And if you don't believe I'll kiss your cheek

I'll climb into your bed underneath the sheets

And we'll call it quits together

And that's ok by me

You can read the whole book but there's always one chapter

That'll change your whole life and forever after

You had a baby, I was scared and angry

I chose to leave your life, I thought I didn't belong there

The worst thing I did in the last fifty years

Now I'm begging you in the hospital

So if I told you we live forever

Would you ever believe?

Twelve thousand years and I can remember

You always end up with me

So let us lie here warm together

And turn the lights out in peace

'Cause in the next life it'll be such a pleasure

As we build our new dream!

And if I told you that I remember

Would you ever believe?

I love you so much more than forever

But now it's time for sleep.
