Sirens

Well I found all the letters that I wrote to you In a shoebox, in the cupboard hidden away from view They were weighted with words like love and truth The paper weighed so heavy So I put them out with the pizza boxes That had been building up for days on my countertops and I thought is this really what it all comes down to Who paid that bill was it me or you? Well oooooh uh huh Well oooooh uh huh Well you lie there on my couch, I see you But I feel your body leaving Go ahead try pronounce my name But your eyes just stare at the ceiling And my heart rises up to the occasion And finds a voice from way beyond my means And I ask if you still love me but you Just get up to walk around Well oooooh uh huh Well oooooh uh huh Sp I phone my Da' to tell him all about it I phone him up, hear my voice crackle down the line I said I Think that my baby is dying And I don't know how to bring him back to life He said Have you checked his pulse love? I said I have, and he's barely breathing Well you've got to phone the ambulance I still hear them sirens screaming Well oooooh uh huh Well oooooh uh huh Quietly and carefully I make my way home The Sydney skyline still battered on my eyes And the only thing that I'm left wondering Is what part I had to play in that?
