Music for a Nurse

And a piece of the pictures bitten right out of the middle

I'm alone and thinner I feel

Is this a prayer?

Anaesthetise me just til you return

I feel the loss like a squandered opportunity to whisper

You're all I ever needed

Shapes fall into place

For once in your life you make

A clean breakaway

And did you know that everything you touch is blessed and all the richer

For your love a better being

And if I display just a fraction of the soul you showed in this world

Then I know I'll see you again

Love so much to give

And too few to share it with

Wastes you away

The dream it comes again and again

You're here

It's you

I pull you close and

Hold you tight

Into the sky you go

You go

And I can't change it

I can't change it
