When

The curtains played
And leapt like children by the sea
Upon the bed there lay a quilt embossed with falling leaves

One lonely bird
Sweet-tempered company
A song to sing, and joy to bring
Stood by the open door
We watched you sleep
And whispered somberly
And in our hearts we hid such sorrow as you slowly died

When the moment has come
And the silence makes you sick
Remember
There were better times than these

With my coffin waiting
Days moved ever slowly
Hopeless, endless moments
Of torment and woe

The mourning
The weeping
The thoughts I'm keeping
The murmurs
And silence
Resisting violence
Recover
Discover
Console each other
The moments we're wasting
This chance I'm taking
